Please send this letter to your lists, and to the addresses below. This will support "Rachel's Law" which is a very important bill to protect our First Amendment for all writers, speakers, bloggers, and in the end, all of us against the threat of being sued in England by the Middle East. This is THE ACTION OF THE DAY!
Dear ...
PLEASE SUPPORT THE FREE SPEECH PROTECTION ACT (S-2977 & H.R. 5814), aka "Rachel's Law", now before the Judiciary Committees in the House and Senate.
New York’s new law and the proposed federal legislation grew from the court battles of New York journalist and terrorism investigator, Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, whom a Saudi billionaire sued in Great Britain for Funding Evil; How Terrorism is Financed - And How to Stop It - although she is American and her book sold here, not in the U.K. But plaintiff-friendly British libel laws have made London a mecca for libel tourists wishing to intimidate authors worldwide. The suit against Dr. Ehrenfeld - like 40 previous cases that silenced many other American and New York authors - is an obvious attempt to dilute First Amendment protections of free press, and prevent investigations of terror-financing.
English libel law is an international menace, a national disgrace, a pre-democratic anachronism. It defends crooks, terrorists and tyrants from investigation. It threatens the free speech of people all over the world and causes untold damage to the reputation of this country.
In a tremendous victory for free speech rights and to provide legal protections from "libel terrorism" to New York authors and publishers, "Rachel's Law" adopted by the NY legislature and signed into law by Gov. David Patterson on April 30, 2008. Read more ...
