There are many reasons not to support HB245 and 3-24-R. Use this form to help you write a letter. Some reasons are listed below as well as some letter template topics. Thanks for writing Celina City Council in disapproval of 3-24-R.

1. Constitutional Implications: Concerns arise about potential constitutional violations, as the broad definition of "Adult cabaret performance" in HB245 may infringe upon the rights of transgender individuals, specifically regarding freedom of expression and equal protection under the law.

2. First Amendment Concerns: The inclusion of performers with a different gender identity in the definition may impede on the First Amendment rights of individuals, particularly those in the transgender community who express their identity through performance.

3. Lack of Clarity and Specificity: The terms in HB245, such as "obscene" and "prurient interest," lack clear and objective standards, leading to uncertainty about how the legislation would be applied and the potential for arbitrary enforcement.

4. Community Transparency Issues: The delayed disclosure of 3-24-R to the public, prompted by social media and news outlets, raises concerns about government transparency. Listing the resolution as a "Resolution of Support" on the agenda without fully revealing its contents goes against principles of openness.

5. Suspicions and Trust Erosion: The lack of transparency and perceived attempts to conceal the resolution's true nature raise suspicions within the community. This erodes public trust and questions the motivations behind supporting HB245.

These concerns collectively emphasize the need for the Celina City Council to reconsider its support for Resolution 3-24-R, encouraging open dialogue, legal scrutiny, and transparent decision-making processes. Let's get writing!
