... Maybe I'll start sending more. Awww, Saints preserve us. Now you're just being a pill and provoking people. Of course ! Most of the other pills have left. If anyone is interested a membership in the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties (which automatically makes you a "card-carrying" member of the national organization) is just $35 The membership is not tax deductible but any additional contributions you make to the ACLU Foundation are 100% deductible since they are restricted from lobbying activities.

They'll just sue like ACORN did and get a Klinton appointed judge to rule it Un-Constitutional. ACLU Collapse or wishful thinking? We should all (except JD) sleep better tonight.

For less than half that price ($16) my AARP dual membership allows me to feel like just as much of a jerk and I can get discounts with the card. What kind of junk mail does the ACLU send out?

The membership is paid, but is NOT deductible, just so you can contribute and GET a deduction? That's it! I am starting my own organization, like pronto! I'll call it the AGLU: American Gigolo Liberators United. You in, DJ?

"What kind of junk mail does the ACLU send out?" It's just continually sending letters asking for more money or else Republicans will be sending liberals to concentration camps....

No, no, no, no, JD. Not concentration camps. Summer camps where you can contemplate...
I mean concentrate.
