    Sent Glenn's article last night to all my fellow Dem activists

    We are working hard to turn our long time red county blue and I sent this news as a motivating factor for all of us to work even harder to throw out Repug authoritarians who are trampling on our free speech and constitution.

    The case against two fighters for free speech who were arrested and charged with nonsense by our DuPage County (IL) attorney because they held up an Impeach Bush-Cheney sign over an expressway crossover and were left to twist in the legal system for 15 months until the bogus charges were finally dismissed, taught us about what these thugs do to stifle political opposition.
