Text Messaging... San Franciscans passing this billboard might think they are looking at a refreshingly honest company's ad campaign. What they are really seeing is the handiwork of the Billboard Liberation Front, which declares in a press release that it's celebrating "an extraordinary rendition of a public-private partnership." President Bush is resorting to scare tactics to push legislation that would broadly expand the government's wiretapping ability and grant immunity to the companies that broke U.S. law in complying with his surveillance program. Naturally, he claims that these companies did not break the law-but still, granting them immunity is an "urgent priority." Meanwhile, members of the BLF have risked life and limb to bring a message and a smile to an American people sick and tired of fear-mongering. Now, congressional leaders have to decide whose side they're on-the President's, or the people's. Image: BoingBoing

One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party. Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites.
We are not able to respond to unsolicited inquiries, complaints or requests for assistance sent to this blog. Please direct your complaint or request for assistance to the ACLU affiliate in your state. Requests for legal assistance left in the blog comments will not receive a response or be published.
