Mike is right-on, here. I recommend "investment" in such organizat- ions which protect our basic Constitutional rights. Your best contribution, though, would be to assure yourself that such organizations also support ALL those Constitutional rights, as I am sure the NCAC does, right? Also, since the Principles expressed in the Constitution are still as valid today, as they were then, that the Supreme Court's efforts be directed to strict adherence to the intent expressed in those Principles. In that way, mere opinion, of whatever color, _cannot_ infringe on that application to _individual_ life under penalty of law (Sections 241, 242 U.S. Criminal Code.) If you, as citizens, wrote letters to the Grand Jury in your areas, perhaps these matters could be "tested" to a quick-and-speedy conclusion. Ultimately, though, it really depends on the smallest voting incorporation, so VOTE! (Right, Mike?) Tad tomd@pulsar.telcom.tek.com
