If you want to stop Gonzales, join the ACLU today
The ACLU is the entity fighting Gonzales for our Constitutional protections.

If you want to stop Gonzales, you can join the ACLU today. The lowest level of membership costs very little money. NOW IS THE TIME to send the message of support and solidarity in this, the fight of our lives.

Joining the ACLU is the most direct and effective way citizens can fight Gonzales.

I put it off forever.

It takes an intellectual army to beat the fascists.

5. I'm a member
Just an insane liberal veteran who loves our constitution but apparently hates our country. The ACLU rep over in Louisian Joe Cook was crossing swords with St Bernard Parish, (I believe the issue was religious displays.) The Parish president said the ACLU can kiss his ass. Joe said he should kiss the document that allows him to say that.

6. Already a member
But glad that I've kept up my membership when I've been in financial hard times. I cut back my donations to the DNC but keep giving monthly to the ACLU. Obviously it's paid off!

9. and?
You're unwilling to make such a modest stand in defense of America's liberties? If that is so, you're part of the problem.

At some point, each citizen must choose whether to support tyranny or liberty. Those who brought about this democracy pledged their lives, their fortunes, their sacred honor. And some of them lost it all.

How can we offer less?

The way to stand against tyrants is in solidarity.

10. Just a question.
I belong to different groups which may or may not already are tracked. I think membership is the appropriate thing to do to help guarantee rights.

11. sorry if I overreacted...
...I'm awfully sensitive to the fact that a lot of people prefer comfort over commitment.

18. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't want to get involved
and take it for granted their rights are always there or just figure it will work itself out. I'm sensitive to it too. No need to be sorry.

17. I bought 75 bumper stickers

from them a few years ago turned them into tee shirt iron ons and wear them proudly everywhere!
After all we are the ones that really care to care, we should make it known cause nobody else will.

19. I have a T-shirt with a replica of the membership card on it...
....had it for about twenty years now. I might have to make it into a pillow because it's getting too worn to wear.

21. United we stand;
divided we fall. If we all stand up for what's right, we have nothing to fear, for we greatly outnumber the tyrants. If we're too afraid, we must partly blame ourselves for allowing a situation to persist in which the tyrants can pick us off one by one.

ACLU member since 2004.

23. I joined around 2 months ago but this NEEDS to be kicked!
The more members they have, the more they can fight for us. Ditto the more cash they have. Check out their website, see what they're doing, and help them to help us. It was a no-brainer for me, I'm just sorry I waited so long.
