Protect Our Constitutional Rights in Manti, Utah

I have been to Manti several times and have found the street discussions to be in the great tradition of American freedom of speech. Keep Manti streets public access to all religious & public individuals and groups, and do NOT sell it to any organization including the LDS church which will prevent public access to Manti streets in front of the historic LDS temple.

I have been to Manti once and I traveled from Iowa. This sale would infringe upon our freedom of speech. Please do not allow this to happen.

We have come from California and Colorado to support this event and we see this as a restriction of our Constitutional Rights in Manti, Please so not let this happen

I have come to Manti for this event for the last 6 consecutive years. As a retired Army Officer, I find it so wrong that such a move would be made by the LDS Church to limit our freedom of speech. Please do not let this happen.

I reside in Mesa Arizona.

I have been to the Manti Pageant 1 time. I do not believe the city has the right to sell the street and limit our freedom of speech.

I am from Scottsdale Arizona. Please protect our freedom of speech. I've enjoyed several friendly cconversations on that street, and there is no better time than an atmosphere already primed for it. Please keep these alive.

This is public land , Unless the community as a whole has a say that it should not be allowed. This is a ballot issue. The church has enough land . Why could they possibly want to own a street unless they plan at some point to restrict use.

I enjoy talking to the varied group of people who walk on this street.

The LDS church does not have the right to purchase public property with the goal of controling non members access to public places. Please do not let this bullying organization go through with this purchase.

public streets should not be sold to private parties of any kind.

I currently live in Nampa, Idaho, and have attended the Manti Pageant four or five times over the last 10 years.

Don't sell it!

I have been to the Manti pageant once in 2014 and plan to go again in 2017. Please help us!

From Belvidere, IL Went to the pageant for the first time last summer

I live in Castle Rock, CO. and have attended the pageant twice -even met my wife there! This is not a hate-speech event or anything of the sort. Don't let the streets be sold!

This is nothing but a desperate attempt to keep members leaving the church, the control they have over the member is too juicy for them to lose it.

This transaction is an extreme over reach for the exclusive benefit of the LDS Church and not the community at large.

LDS claim "the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of [their] own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may." This is the hypocrisy of the wealthy and powerful to intimidate, bully and attempt to stifle and censor the free speech of anyone that would disagrees with Mormonism.

I have attended once. I live in Layton, Utah.
