Over 10,000 sign on to defend the First Amendment

Posted in Press Releases by R Lee Wrights on December 17th, 2003

 

Independence HallOver 10,000 organizations and individuals have already signed the following statement in support of the First Amendment and in opposition to the FBI’s targeting of the antiwar movement (over 6,000 on the first day that A.N.S.W.E.R., VoteNoWar.org and others began circulating this statement). Initial signers include former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark; historian Howard Zinn; National Lawyers Guild Executive Director Heidi Boghosian; Ron Kovic, author Born on the Fourth of July, and others.

We want to get tens of thousands more signers and publicize this campaign to support the First Amendment which is under attack. It is crucial that people in the anti-war movement take strong, proactive actions to expose Bush’s and Ashcroft’s efforts to intimidate and stifle political dissent. That so many thousands of organizations and individuals immediately stepped forward to show their support is an expression of the power of the people to stop the ultra-right enemies of Free Speech. Let’s keep the pressure up in the days ahead. If you or others would like to sign the statement you can click on the link below, underneath the statement.

From the Libertarian Party of North Carolina Press Secretary

Ladies of Liberty 2004The Libertarians are laying bare their principles again in the 2004 Ladies of Liberty Calendar.  And this time, its national.  The Ladies of Liberty, that is: 16 beautiful Libertarian women who display their charms and promote their ideology in the new 2004 edition of the Ladies of Liberty calendar.

The calendar is produced by North Carolina Libertarian Rachel Mills, who created the original 2003 edition of the calendar.  Mills, 28, a candidate for the North Carolina House (District 31) in 2002, sold the first calendars to raise money for her campaign.
