• Internet Censorship and Freedom of Expression from SurfWatch
• The Obscenity of Decency -- by Brock Meeks Written before the passage of the CDA...
• FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK Australia and US

First Amendment arguments boil down to one simple proposition... that anything legal in a Barnes & Noble bookstore or the New York City Public Library should also be legal in the public spaces of the Net. Even the CDA's strongest champions stumble when trying to refute this statement. And that, in a nutshell, is why I believe we will win.
The Communications Decency Act isn't about "Netsleaze" - it's about the Religious Right's obscene attempt to limit public discourse by misleading lawmakers and the public. Join the fight. Protect online civil liberties!

  Freedom Fan Picture a modern woman. Her dark hair is cut short in a current and sophisticated style. She sits stark naked in red and blue lights. Her face is calm, and her breasts are covered by a fan painted with the stars and stripes. It is difficult to tell if she is moving the fan away to reveal herself, or if she must cover herself using this symbol of her country. In just the same way, it is difficult to know what the outcome of the upcoming fight against censorship will be.

In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me -- and by that time, no one was left to speak up.
