...The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) consists of two separate non-profit organizations: the ACLU Foundation, a 501 organization which focuses on litigation and communication efforts, and the American Civil Liberties Union, a 501 organization which focuses on legislative lobbying. The ACLU's stated mission is "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States."http://aclu.org/about/faqs/index.html#1_1It works through litigation, legislation, and community education. Founded in 1920 by Crystal Eastman, Roger Baldwin and Walter Nelles, the ACLU was the successor organization to the earlier National Civil Liberties Bureau founded during World War I.

People in this country enjoyed the right of privacy and therefor the right to keep the government out of their lives, homes, and off of their cell phones. According to the patriot act, the government may investigate anyone they suspect of terror (which includes a very wide range of acts) by electronic, visual, or any other method of surveillance. In addition, anyone suspected may be arrested and held indefinitely. |

Is the American Civil If you go to the ACLU's
website, it says that it is
nonpartisan, however I can't
remember whether the American
Civil Liberties Union is
typically Democratic or
Republican, so if you could
help me out, I would greatly
appreciate it.

I don't think they fit either, they are non-partisan b/c they take the side of the Bill of Rights, and both parties have members with opposing views. For instance, libertarian Republicans should support the same rights, while neo-conservative Republicans are against. Liberal Democrats should agree with the ACLU most of the time but they might be against on some issues like the Nazi's rights to march. Looking at the list on their website, it looks like most of the social issues at this time are supported by more Democrats. Update - Wow, an American who has no beliefs in common with the ACLU! That would exclude freedom of speech, assembly, press, religion...Must be one of those 'freedom-haters' we've been hearing about. |

They cared about the Government's "illegal" wiretapping I know that for sure. Another issue at least here in Michigan was not letting H.S. males participate in cheerleading anymore. |
