A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference. ~Thomas Jefferson

THREE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE ACLU
* We protect American values. In many ways, the ACLU is
the nation's most conservative organization. Our job is to conserve America's original civic values - the Constitution and the Bill of Rights - and defend the rights of every man, woman and child in this country.
* We're not anti-anything. The only things we fight are attempts to take away or limit your civil liberties, like your right to practice any religion you want (or none at all); or to decide in private whether or not to have a child; or to speak out - for or against - anything at all; or to be treated with equality and fairness, no matter who you are.
* We're there for you. Rich or poor, straight or gay, black or white or brown, urban or rural, pious or atheist, American-born or foreign-born, able-bodied or living with a disability. Every person in this country should have the same basic rights. And since our founding in 1920, we've been working hard to make sure no one takes them away.
A freedom lost to one is lost to all. If the rights of society's most vulnerable members are denied, then everybody’s rights are at risk.
About me: The American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma, founded in 1964, is a nonprofit, non-partisan, privately funded organization devoted exclusively to the defense and promotion of the individual rights secured by the U.S. and Oklahoma constitutions.

Who I'd like to meet: "It is when the stakes are the highest and when tempers run the hottest that we must work doubly hard to keep a check on our government and prevent it from trading in our values for visceral and political motives ... It is during the most challenging situations that our country's values are most intensely tested... " ~John Adams
You.

Thank-you for accepting us as a friend. My daughter passed on 1/1/04. The Sheriff has kept us from seeing her reports and has never returned her belongings. I believe this county has something to hide. We have been left with no closure to what happened to Ashley. I thank God for people like you who are not afraid to speak out. It is an honor to have you as a friend.
