Michael, with all due respect but that was the original intent of the ACLU. I remembered them fighting for Nazis' right to march, protecting the 2nd Amendment, fighting for citizens right to petition a recall and all that stuff.....back in the 1970s and even up the 1980s. But in the past 25 years, they have change. They no longer battle the rights of the far right in fact, they have been deadly quite regarding the happenings on campus when they used to be so active. They stopped supporting the Second Amendment and in the case of Homer's recalled, they actually tried to stop citizens from recalling their politicians....because the politicians supported the causes that ACLU now support. What they were originally, is no longer the case today. Back in late 1970s and into 80s, I was a card carrying member of the ACLU but as they drifted further to the left and more left, I dropped them.  Now they are more closer to a political action group for the far left. Sorry but that is how I see them.
