Update on confiscation of materials - I made the front page of local newspaper

These are my favorite threads! I was impressed by the way you sounded informed, calm, and like a true American. I also liked that you mentioned that you were able to do similar thing in the past without getting in trouble.

Many of you will remember my thread from a couple days ago, detailing the confiscation of my anti-Obama materials. I had an interview with the Times-Union (my local newspaper) two days ago. They put the article on the front page, albeit on the lower half.

You can read the online edition here at www.timesuniononline.com

I have also scanned the article, for those that want to see it as it is in the paper..

1) Recruit more YAL Members - Check
2) Expose Obama's policies to peers - Check
3) Get media attention - DoublePlus Check

Thanks, that means a lot!

I was very glad that I brought my friend along, because he is the one that reminded me of our previous activities. The funny thing is, when we passed out slim jims and got signatures, it was during class and still no complaints were made. Additionally, it wasn't a one day thing. We were passing out stuff every day for weeks straight. Never heard a word.
 
You should contact other press in your area. The press is pretty passionate about the 1st amendment.

I'll keep this in mind. I live in such a small town though, so Times-Union is about the only newspaper we have. There is one other, but the person who runs is a fervant Obama supporter; I don't think the story would fly. He also happens to be a teacher at my school.

Try bigger than local. Is Indianapolis near Warsaw?

This, along with the quote from Mr. Kline, and the quote from the SCOTUS will somehow be incorporated into a t-shirt..

Unfortunately the education-industrial-complex is just like the rest of them, a monopoly on power and control that they will keep at any cost.
You guys teaching your peers still in school (an age when you can actually do some good, keep up the fight!) about constitutional libertarianism is a direct threat to the system, they will not like it.
 
Don't make a public spectacle out of this Krippy. Take them to court, make them change their policies, and enjoy the publicity that ensues. T-Shirts, fliers, and pamphlets serve their purpose, but there is a distinct line where they have to stop and legal proceeding should begin. Where all the "rallying" material has to be put down and you have to put on a suit and be professional. They've crossed that line. I urge you, don't make a spectacle out of it. A spectacle will cause you far more legal ill than a court case (or a threat of a court case).

Just my suggestion. You've done great so far.

I will keep that in mind. There is still a lot that must happen before I decide to make the T-shirts. First, I'm waiting for a response back from the central administration on the materials. Hopefully, they'll decide to let me distribute the materials. Even if they decide against, I'm going to talk with them before I do anything drastic. I don't want to tarnish the good image I have with the administration by attacking them with t-shirts... I won't do anything without completely thinking out the different consequences first. Thanks for the reminder.


What is your advice on taking them to court?

Do it. Try and contact the ACLU. If they won't represent you or take too long getting back to you, contact a lawyer in your area. Explain the situation to him about what happened exactly. If he asks about payment, it may be of some help with this to point him towards the law I cited that entitles you to "reasonable attorney fees" in cases such as yours. Tell him that any fees that come of it will go to him.

Once you find the right attorney (one that specializes in cases like this) you won't have trouble finding one to represent you. Yours is a pretty easy case to win, and the lawyers fees are going to be paid by the government. It's like money in the bank to them.
