A war against free speech has begun.
Bloggers in Rockland County, New York, are being sued by elected officials whose aim is to silence them by intimidation. We are raising funds to assist two of them who have dared to speak truth to power. Please Give what you can.
The lawsuit was brought by a group of politicians who allege that bloggers, Michael Hull and Anthony Mele, have mixed opinions with facts to give the impression the officials have been committing crimes. Hull also contributes to a Facebook page, “Clarkstown: What They Don’t Want You to Know,” and Mele has run for elected office, often criticizing government’s status quo during his campaigns.
The intent of this kind of lawsuit, better know as a SLAPP Lawsuit is not to win but to deplete the funds of everyday people like you and me in order to intimidate and silence people from speaking out. If you write a blog or comment on the web anywhere, you could easily be sued like the victims for whom we are raising these funds.
