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.

"Those who won our independence by revolution were not cowards. They did not fear political change. They did not exalt order at the cost of liberty. To courageous, self-reliant men, with confidence in the power of free and fearless reasoning applied through the processes of popular government, no danger flowing from speech can be deemed clear and present, unless the incidence of the evil apprehended is so imminent that it may befall before there is opportunity for full discussion."
Whitney v. California, 274 U.S. 357, 377 (1927).

Huge victory for the First Amendment by attorneys in the Free Expression Foundation's network!
Judge Brian Fortner granted the general demurrer and motion to quash by defendants Philip and Hilary Jacobs. Georgia brought littering charges against them for distributing flyers the Thought Police didn't like.
Granting a general demurrer means that, even if every fact set out in the indictment is true, no crime occurred. The motion to quash invalidates the criminal indictment as legally defective.
The Jacobses are pursuing a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim in federal court against the state officials who retaliated against their free expression.

Attorneys in the Free Expression Foundation's network are riding the momentum generated by the victory at the state level for the Jacobs "littering" case.
FEF lawyers filed a motion to expedite the Jacobses' appeal to pursue 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against the officials who attacked their First Amendment rights.
The motion recounts, "Abstention in the face of such manifest bad faith is error, any further prosecution should be enjoined, and Appellants should be permitted to proceed with their amended complaint."

Free Expression Foundation lawyers and Austin Franco sent a demand letter to Accuracy in Media for impersonating another non-profit, Justice in the Classroom, in order to gain access to Mr. Franco to make a surreptitious recording. Their actions violated multiple provisions of the District of Columbia’s Consumer Protection Procedures Act (“CPPA”).
AIM’s letter to Mr. Franco and attendant deception falls afoul of at least five subsections of D.C. Code § 28-3904. AIM triggered Section (b) because it represented itself as an entirely different non-profit offering services. AIM infringed Section (h) because it offered services with no intent to actually provide them to qualified individuals and Section (s) because it passed off its services as those of Justice in the Classroom.
The CPPA authorizes treble damages, the recovery of attorney fees, and punitive damages. Mr. Franco alleges $60,700 in damages stemming from five separate violations of the act.
AIM has 30 days from to respond.
