Protesters To Welcome ACLU
I think I’m too late on this one, but…
The civil-liberties group is confident it can gain a foothold in the county, where it sees pressing issues in education and healthcare.
By Claire Luna, Times Staff Writer
When Hector Villagra told friends he was going to open the ACLU’s first Orange County office, they told him he’d have more luck setting up shop in, well, Death Valley.
But after only two days in his barren office, the lawyer has already drafted one lawsuit and has plans for several others. Change, he said, is coming.
ADVERTISEMENT “Orange County has a lot of issues,” Villagra said. “People have really been hungry for a legal organization with our expertise and prestige to lend them a hand.”
Oh, they’re hungry alright! Got this in the email:
“The Wiley Drake Show”
“Live” on Location Broadcast
Will welcome the ACLU to Orange County, and the City of Orange with the following signs…
WELCOME COMMUNIST
WELCOME BABY KILLERS
WELCOME TERRORIST
WELCOME PORNOGRAPHERS
WELCOME PEDOPHILE DEFENDERS
WELCOME SODOMITE DEFENDERS
Bring your own signs, pro family, pro life, etc.
ACLU OFFICE
2140 West Chapman Suite 209
Orange, CA 92868
9:00 am Thursday September 22
Contact pastor Drake 1-714-865-8132
Another snipit from the Times article:
Former Newport Beach Assemblyman Gil Ferguson, a Republican who 21 years ago founded a conservative breakfast club called Principles Over Politics, doesn’t think the ACLU can garner enough support in Orange County.
“It takes a lot of chutzpah for that communist-inspired organization to come to the heart of conservatism in America,” Ferguson said.
“We don’t have the large groups of liberals who would support them. They’re not going to get any traction here.”

So I can’t link and refer to the text because you don’t allow copy and paste? Gosh. Usually people post excerpts of what is written on a post to generate interest. Guess I can’t do that here–or that’s what it seems. I’ll try from home later.
This is so interesting! This is also my experience with war protesters. Becuase they are “they”, they think they are right, in the majority, backed and loved by the huddled masses. The TRUTH is that they are supported by only a fringe nutty group in the minority.
May the earth open up and swallow the ACLU whole.
Cao, you can copy and paste using the keyboard, but I won’t tell you how because this site is probably trying to protect its content.
I don’t mind copy and paste, I don’t know why it’s not allowing it…or how to change that.
