2012 ACLU Patriot of the Year Award

It was my great honor to receive the 2012 Patriot of the Year  Award from the Redwood Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union

I accepted the award in memory of my father Paul, a life long card-carrying-member of the ACLU

This photo was entered into evidence as Plaintiff's Exhibit One over the objections of the City's legal counsel.  I think he feared it would too simply state our case and the absurdity of the City's broadly over reaching, and as we proved, cleary unconstitutional law.

Since winning our case, the city can no longer outlaw the holding of a sign based solely on the content of the message.
