The event has been advertised through email invitations that have now been widely circulated here. The event has also been advertised regionally:https://mafa-ma.com/community-calendar/(Comment-the other events advertised on this site make clear political leanings) The main speaker has a national media presence and has been featured in a number of articles.https://minnesotareformer.com/2022/03/07/the-big-lie-goes-on-tour-in-minnesota/ The second speaker listed has less of a presence.He recently ran for Mayor in Sheboygan, WI and lost. An examination of this website will give a good idea of Tesauro’s beliefs and political positions."Restore Liberty’s own Captain James Tesauro has a necessary confrontation with Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu."https://restore-liberty.org/2022/03/08/exclusive-wisconsin-father-and-former-army-captain-goes-off-on-senate-majority-leader-who-refuses-to-decertify-2020-election-despite-ample-evidence-to-do-so/ Comments:While it may distress some to have an event in Lincoln, in a town-owned building, where speakers might espouse beliefs diametrically opposed to values we have endorsed as a community, these speakers have a right to speak. I would note that such individuals are seeking engagement, attention (especially press) and even confrontation.They have a history of being provocative and filming themselves and those who engage with them.This documentation then appears on social media. I, for one, will not provide any fodder.As hard as it will be for me not to be present and stand for what I believe, I will stay home. Others may chose a different path.
