I hope that that does not mean they will make an example of you.
I really think they should not go after advertisers, we do have free speech in this country.
I will definitely be there with a helping hand whenever and however I can.
What happened to the link to the news article that was in this post? Why was it edited out?
Ok…I have so many questions and concerns about this situation. I realize some of you may feel I’m being overly critical, however, I do feel there are some things not being said here that need to be said.
I don’t understand agreeing to an interview with a newspaper (which includes a photo), given the situation, particularly without FIRST consulting with an attorney. Am I the only one here that feels this is a bit backward?
Challenging this law is a GOOD thing, if it is done with proper thought and the assistance of the best legal minds available. The best example of this would be Casino City Press vs. USDOJ. While this ultimately ended in CCP dropping its suit, it DID press the issue.
By challenging things without forethought and a tight, legal plan, I can’t help but ultimately be concerned about all those who have given information to the APCW. Should JT’s hard drives be seized for any reason, the affiliates who’ve entrusted their information, could very well be targeted in the future, regardless of location. IMO, these affiliates gave information to the APCW in good faith and should have been consulted before JT went public as he has. This is serious stuff.
At this point, I can’t begin to know the best course to follow–certainly JT needs legal counsel and in discussion with legal counsel, protection of participants in the APCW should be paramount. I realize that outside of a precious few, these affiliates live outside the bounds of Washington, however, those that are in the US will need to be protected, equally.
