Bravo to a brave man who dares speak the truth! We occupy a time when the truth would serve us especially well- if we have the courage to find and act on it.

A voice in the wilderness! We need our leaders to stand up for us! Rock on, Rocky!

I think this is one of the great modern speeches.
A line has been drawn... now the presidential candidates should get personal visits or come speak with Rocky (Right Hon. Mayor Anderson)!

God bless you in all denominations, any faiths or energy systems that folks believe in. God, Jesus, and all Grant you the strength to continue to freely speak your mind sir. THIS SOUNDS LIKE AMERICA SPEEKING!

I live in Boston, an American birthplace of freedom - but we haven't heard such a speech here. I feel that all good leaders should speak their mind yet act to uphold the will of their people. Bless you Salt Lake - sound's like you've got a good 'un!
