My name is Alex Ruelas I am the Duke's car club international President. I wanted to introduce myself <br /> and say I for one and my club support repealing the cruising ordinance. My father Fernando Ruelas (rip)was a co- <br /> founder of this club in 1962. This year we celebrate 60 years. My dad at a very young age cruised the streets of Whittier <br /> Blvd, Elysian Park etc. He grew up in South Los Angeles very poor being involved with the 38th street gang well known <br /> for the sleepy lagoon case in the 1940's. He didn't have money for an education his education was building cars & <br /> lowriding. For me as a kid and my brothers this is what we grew up with working with our father teaching us <br /> responsibilities and most of all education. My father believed in family and working hard to provide for that family and <br /> would pass this knowledge on to others to go to school pick up a trade and be the best you can. His trade was <br /> mechanics and restoring cars. He had many stories of him cruising with the club,friends &family. The tradition <br /> continues on with myself and my family and of course the club. We love cruising we love getting together hearing music <br /> bbq you name it. And I feel it's important to repeal this being we're just trying to have a good time and express who we <br /> are,what we love and share it with everyone. Thank you for listening and have a blessed day. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Alex Ruelas <br /> Duke's Car Club International President <br /> Sent from my iPhone <br /> i <br />
