As a child, Helena Aldridge developed a passion for defending the rights of others.

Really, how many children in the 21st century really develop a meaningful passion and track record for defending the rights of others? Haha!

the ACLU has been protecting rights guaranteed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights since 1920

What a freakin' joke. Good for her.

Good for her, I would think that there would be some scholarship minded Freepers that could stand in the gap, and then some for her!

"A group that ardently defends individual rights: the American Civil Liberties Union."

Not really...

You can join the fight against the ACLU and their ilk by becoming involved with and supporting the following organizations:

Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) - http://www.alliancedefensefund.org

Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) - http://www.thomasmore.org

American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) - http://www.aclj.org

The Rutherford Institute - http://www.rutherford.org/

Stop the ACLU Coalition (GREATLY ORGANIZED ACTIVIST SITE..PLEASE JOIN) - http://www.stoptheaclu.org


Here are a few examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:

ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas

ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits

ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd

Thomas More Law Center: Town of Palm Beach Pays $50,000 In Attorney Fees Apologizes To Women In Nativity Lawsuit


Additional information:

The ACLU must be destroyed: Joseph Farah supports Boy Scouts, urges Americans to fight back

Citizens mobilized to stop ACLU (seeks to consign group to 'ash heap of history')

ACLU fulfilling communist agenda

Revealing FACTS on the ACLU from its own writings

See how YOUR Senator or Representative ranks with the ACLU

This yahoo group just started on December 3, 2004 and is looking for new members

Anti-ACLU Page

The Center For Reclaiming America (petitions to congress)

The Becket Fund

Christian Legal Society

Pacific Justice Institute

Landmark Legal Foundation

American Family Assn. Center for Law and Policy

The Liberty Council

ACLU-Watch

ACLU (Know Thine Enemy)

My personal Anti-ACLU Blog


"I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control of those who produced the wealth: communism is the goal." - Roger Baldwin, ACLU founder, Harvard Reunion Book, 1935


"The establishment of an American Soviet government will involve the confiscation of large landed estates in town and country, and also, the whole body to forests, mineral deposits, lakes, rivers and so on." - William Z. Foster, ACLU co-founder and former chairman, Communist Party USA.


Let me know if you would like to join my ACLU ping list

"It's a misunderstanding that a lot of people have," she said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. We have a long history of standing up for religious liberty."

BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Great idea. If somebody organizes it, I'm in for $50. 19 more $50 donors and we're done.

That's not what the piece says, though: "a passion for defending the rights of others"--I read that as saying she developed a passion for what she hoped to do in the future. Sorta like little kids develop a passion for flight, so they want to pilot fighter jets and such.

If I could find her address...I have a paypal donation button on my site that I would gladly collect the money and pass it on. However, I'm thinking people are gonna want something more trustworthy? I would love to learn how to properly organize something like this. If anyone takes the lead on this, I would like to be a part.

wait until she discovers the ACLU's soviet roots and ongoing socialist agenda.
If she believes private property rights are essential and natural rights, she will soon LOATHE the ACLU
