Did we hit a nerve Leo Terrell? Keep up the pressure! He has not blocked the Free Expression Foundation on his DoJ account.
You can block FEF on Twitter but you can't block the First Amendment.

Hold Terrell accountable! Make the complaint too visible to ignore.

America, indeed all the Western World, is experiencing an identity crisis.  What does it mean to be an American? What are the dominant values of Western Culture?

These are profound and difficult questions, and as we grapple with them another inquiry emerges: What are the rules of engagement for addressing these questions?

The Free Expression Foundation has chosen the path of genuine dialogue and debate. It is dedicated to providing moral, legal, and financial support to those who have been victims of the potent social forces that have chosen the un-American path of monitoring, intimidation, and destruction.

That should be alot of people. I cannot stress enough how much Our Guys should be supporting the Free Expression Foundation. Very few people are doing the legal work they are willing to do for us.

As someone who has been personally banned by name, organizational affiliation, URL, or mention across multiple mainstream platforms (including X) I can attest to the profound difficulty of advocating for justice when one’s voice is silenced wholesale from social media.

Without unified action, that same suppression threatens to become the reality for each and every one of us. By sharing and supporting the Free Expression Foundation, you’re not just helping them. You’re helping them fight for you and your loved ones.

There is much discussion about the 4th Amendment when it comes to Flock. An important issue to be sure, but have you considered how this surveillance network will harm the 1st Amendment?

“The Bill of Rights was fashioned against the background of knowledge that unrestricted power of search and seizure could also be an instrument for stifling liberty of expression.” Marcus v. Search Warrant of Property, 367 U.S. 717, 729 (1961).

The 4th protects our reasonable expectation of privacy and blunts government intimidation. In the absence of privacy, where else can truly free expression flourish?

"If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable.”

Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 414 (1989).

🚨UPDATE: Major success for Austin Franco's complaint against Leo Terrell's abuse of power!

Following our successful awareness campaign, the Office of the Inspector General forwarded the packet detailing Terrell's attack on the First Amendment to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Huge thanks to all of our supporters that spread the message!

Putting pressure on government officials works. Our job is not over! Stand up for your rights and tell the DoJ to investigate Terrell's conduct.

Terrell wanted to make Austin "unemployable." Let's make his assault on free expression "unignorable."

What rights do Americans really have? An official told active club founder Rob Rundo something revealing about the legal system: “You have the rights you can enforce.” Illustratively, Rundo spent 147 days in prison with no charges at all. Read the full story on our website.

BREAKING: Accuracy in Media (AIM) impersonated the non-profit Justice in the Classroom to gain a meeting with Austin Franco. AIM proceeded to surreptitiously record this conversation and heavily edit it.

The Free Expression Foundation is investigating the incident! Hit-pieces like these are the tip of the spear for private and public power to harm the First Amendment.
