John,

The government found a new way to censor speech and sidestep the First Amendment -- by outsourcing its dirty work to "private" entities.

That's why the Center for American Liberty just filed a critical amicus brief in a case exposing this disturbing trend.

In Houston, Texas, the city handed over control of a public park to a "private" nonprofit organization.

Once in charge, the nonprofit restricted free speech in the park -- censoring opinions the city itself could not legally suppress.

This is a dangerous loophole. If the government can avoid the Constitution simply by handing off its responsibilities to private actors, then free speech in America is at serious risk.

John, what do you think?

Should the government be allowed to bypass the Constitution by deputizing private organizations to censor our protected speech?

I hope your answer is NO -- because the Center for American Liberty's argument is simple:

If this loophole isn't shut down, government officials across the country will continue outsourcing their censorship efforts to private groups -- silencing dissent while pretending they had nothing to do with it.

This case also has major implications for our fight in Washington state, where we are arguing that the YMCA -- a private entity managing a city owned pool -- must also follow constitutional protections.

With your support, the Center for American Liberty is standing up against these new government efforts to suppress speech.

Please use the buttons above to let me know if you'll stand with the Center for American Liberty against these new government efforts to suppress speech.

Remember, this is about more than one case -- it's about stopping the government from silencing Americans under the guise of "private" action.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

Sincerely,

The Center For American Liberty is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization fighting against growing anti-free speech and anti-civil liberties trends.
