...Judging from your rhetoric and passion about this, I would like to see the emails you sent off to media outlets blowing the whistle on all of this. Sounds like you're doing a good job deciding to lead instead of follow.

Thanks for standing up to be counted and letting others know we're not going to take all of this lying down.

By the way, I don't know about the particulars involving symbolman's case, but the ACLU did everything could to help me with this. They were quick to jump on it and get things moving at the national office. In fact, they are still trying to help us get word to the media. The problem was in the "public versus private" arena, and the fact that the ACLU can't supercede state employment law.

From conversations with some of the attorneys in this case I can tell you this much: this type of censorship is happening elsewhere in the country, in cases extraordinarily similar to mine. This type behavior has got to stop now as the more momentum it gains, the harder it will be to halt in the future.
