Doonesbury under fire in Alabama... You can help!

[southpaw]

In northeast Alabama, a liberal newspaper, The Anniston Star, is fighting to keep Doonesbury in the Sunday comics.

Take a moment to vote in this poll. The anti-free speech element is currently dominating, but we can turn this poll around.

Thanks in advance.

have you heard about that case?

11. The biggest polluter was Monsanto/Solutia

Johnny Cochran actually represented the plaintiffs in that case. Lots of people around here are now collecting damages.

We also have the chemical weapons incinerator. The only one (to my knowledge) that operates in a heavily populated area...)

Anus-Town, indeed.

15. wasn't it in connection with the base?

separate plant?

sorry, just followed it very peripherally

I'd gone to Jacksonville State to see my sweetheart, sigh.

20. Nah... Monsanto was a problem unto itself...

The incinerator is connected to the base, and is a current worry. They are burning mustard gas as we speak.

14. Anniston - 1 of the worst 1961 Freedom Ride attacks

At one point attackers blocked the bus door and tried to set the bus on fire.

I think it was also in Anniston that attackers followed riders to the hospital and invaded the hospital in order to continue beating up the riders.
