Surely you can find an attorney who will sue them for mental distress, discrimination, violation of your First Amendment rights. Start with your closest ACLU chapter.

If you can't find the ACLU chapter close to you, call them at 212-549-2500

And call your local TV station. Remember -- when they put the cameras on you, cry.
