Thank you so much! But does this mean you will be cancelling the lease with Verity Baptist Church? And if it does, when will that cancellation be finalized? A growing community of supporters are anxious to see progress, and a definitive message of support is WONDERFUL – but we are looking for direct action here. Deeds not words. When can I tell my fellow petitioners that Jordan Schnitzer and Harsch Investment Properties stand with us against hatred and bigotry? Thanks. Sean Blackburn Sacramento, CA From: Susanne Orton [mailto:susanneo@harsch.com] Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2016 10:40 AM To: seanblackburn@comcast.net Subject: On behalf of Mr. Schnitzer-Thank you Dear Mr. Blackburn, Thank you for contacting me. All of us here at Harsch Investment Properties are deeply saddened and shocked by the recent events in Orlando. We grieve for the fallen and their families. We stand with every American in support of the values and principles that founded our country. Nelson Mandela said it best when he stated: “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” We must not let the forces of evil dim the shining light of love and tolerance and the right of every individual, regardless of race, religion or gender, to live their lives and follow their dreams.
