A Twenty Dollar Donation can make you a card-carrying ACLU member. The horror-stricken looks you will get in the red states is by itself worth the money. Not enough fun? Then buy your favorite Christian Conservative a membership !
.. all joking aside, the ACLU performs a valuable service for unpopular causes across the political spectrum. Its a shame their web-site only focuses on their efforts against right-wingers. But I do understand why..

I've actually given it considerable thought, and if they defended the right to arms (at ALL) I might be tempted. But I am very off-put by their hypocrisy when it comes to that particular right of the individual. And I've written about it, too.

Posted by: RAW at July 15, 2003 8:12 PMHey, I want them to protect all my rights - INCLUDING those not enumerated. But their absolute refusal to protect an enumerated right puts me off them.
My right to privacy might not be one listed explicitly in the Bill of Rights, but that's what the 9th Amendment is for:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
