I just took action on a First Amendment issue that I find very important. In an unprecedented action, the ANSWER Coalition received citations fining the organization $7,000 for the placement of posters announcing the March 21st March on the Pentagon. Just 18 months ago, the DC government slapped ANSWER with $55,000 in fines for anti-war posters that were legally affixed. Now they are at it again, trying to effectively eliminate ANSWER's and any group's ability to engage in postering for Free Speech protected activities. Many thousands of dollars in additional fines are expected in the coming days. The posters are legal and conform to city regulations.
Take a moment to write a letter demanding that the DC government immediately lift and stop all fines imposed on the antiwar movement!
