this is a policy statement that san francisco believes it is wrong for any employee funded by the city and county of san francisco to target muslim americans, asians, and asian americans for secret intelligence gathering purely based on their race or religious beliefs, and not any reasonable suspicion of criminal or terrorist activity. daniel redmond, at the national center for lesbian rights, stated it best in an op-ed. "let us be frank. when there is not reasonable suspicion, it is unreasonable suspicion. good police work does not require racial profiling and throwing civil-rights aside." this ordinance restates that local privacy laws and the san francisco state constitution must be respected in any surveillance work that sfpd does. it is not ok to rifle through someone's garbage just because your skin is brown, or merely because you are muslim. the real debate, and i stated this a couple of weeks ago, is that, because i believe everyone at city hall agrees with these ious, is whether we should codify these values. i believe we should. i have not heard why we should not codify these

wrong. a local city councils zoning board -- to stop the corporations from wiping them out. i would urge my colleagues, if you have an interest in getting government back where everybody knows who is involved and everybody knows he was spending, you have a chance for the candidates for their voices to be heard. if we do not do this, the inability of good people to come forward is going to stop and the disrespect of a institutions, including the united states supreme court, will grow. i can tell you right now, at this country will suffer. thank you. >> thank you. i would like to thank all of our colleagues for their statements. i would ask our witnesses to come forward. >> i have a brief introduction for each witness. he was previously president and has served as a fellow at harvard university. he has been a nationally recognized leader on campaign finance and transparency. he has served as an analyst for cbs news and abc news. he served as executive vice president of the national taxpayers union and executive director of americans for a fair taxation. he has written more tha
