40. And the Cons want to get rid of the ACLU
The ACLU and others who care about freedom probably will get the people to chance their minds.

Thing is, what if the ACLU didn't exist? What if the internet didn't exist to spread the word about these attempts at fascism? We probably would have become a re-manifestation of the 3rd Reich by now.... :scared:
