Censorship Fighting In Kentucky

The Blog | David Sirota: Lawmakers Take on Right-Wing Gov, Intro Landmark Anti-Internet Censorship Bill | The Huffington Post: "It's early morning down here at in Lexington, Kentucky and I just finished drafting remarks for a press conference I will be attending in Frankfort where state lawmakers will announce landmark legislation opposing Internet censorship, and fighting back against extreme right-wing Gov. Ernie Fletcher (R). Recently, Fletcher blocked state computer access to the Bluegrass Report, run by political strategist and Fletcher critic Mark Nickolas.

In response, Nickolas filed a federal lawsuit. Now, the Progressive States Network is helping lawmakers launch state legislation to address the situation - legislation that will be a national model to fight back against right-wing power grabs. . ."
