Show Your Support -- Freedom of Speech for Criticizers

Mikaela says:
A psychiatric nurse at the VA hospital right here in Albuquerque wrote a letter to the editor of the Alibi, sharing her concerns for our veterens and questioning Bush's leadership.

Her bosses seized her computer and had her investigated for sedition.

The ACLU has taken on her case. Bloggers are taking on the cause.

You can read more about it here. Better yet, you can do something about it by attending a benefit for her defense. Proceeds raised go to ACLU-NM and ABQ Peace and Justice Center.
