Dear Richard Irvin,

Please get my home address off your attack website wrong for aurora dot com. The screen shot of your political attack against my family is featured below. 

My name is Marina, the non citizen grandmother of your former rival Jazmine Garcia. And although I am illiterate, I have asked my granddaughter’s supporters to help in the drafting of this letter in hopes of it reaching you and your team. 

I was born in 1939 and as a child, I grew up listening to stories of NAZI concentration camps and the fight against fascism during World War II. I cannot vote as I am not yet a US citizen but I have heard of how you speak about my granddaughter and immigrants such as me. I believe you refer to us as “illegal aliens”. The only “illegal” thing I’ve seen or heard from in this campaign is the way you have conducted yourself and the way you have sold Aurora’s democracy to your friends and accomplices. 

You are still my granddaughter’s mayor- you are my mayor as I live at the address which you have so disturbingly published for the world to see.

I really hope you can remove my home address from your website. It fills me with terror to know that your extremist, far right MAGA supporters might show up in the middle of the night and hurt me or my family. The point you were attempting to make on your attack website was about my granddaughter allegedly receiving "a 20,000$" contribution from the Democratic Party of Illinois". To be clear, my granddaughter did not receive a cent of this money, the money itself was used to cover the legal costs of your attempts to thwart our local election and manipulate democracy by kicking the two Mexican-American women off the ballot. Your attempts did not work, my granddaughter and Karina remained on the ballot and yet, my home address remains on your website for the entire world to see. How do we know this political attack website is you? Well, like me, you are not very tech savvy and you left a very obvious digital trail and your attack website has been tied to to BitRiot / twenty9north, regular partners to Oak Brook political consulting firm Strive Strategies which is run by your former campaign chairman, Dennis Cook. Cook, coincidentally, chaired the Build R Futures PAC, which has donated hundreds of thousands to you and your associates.

I plan on coming to City Hall for public comment to make my voice heard if you do not remove my home address at once. I will need a Spanish to English translator.
