Review for Free Press, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been donating on a monthly basis to Free Press for quite some time now. I view this organization as essential to the maintenance of our "free" society. I am a lawyer representing indigent defendants in criminal appeals. In my work, I see the steady chipping away of constitutional rights by our courts in one result-oriented opinion after another. But the attack is not limited to the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments, those you most often see tested in criminal appeals -- the 1st Amendment is under steady attack as well. In my opinion, Free Press does a top notch job of exposing the behind-the-scenes machinations of the corporate media and protecting our rights to free, unadulterated information. If I could afford more in my monthly donation, I would give more.

I have personally experienced the results of this organization in their campaigns to protect the First Amendment and expose corporate media's control of information. While I am just one of many in this experience, that is the very purpose of the protections afforded by the First Amendment.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Make easier the change of automatic banking source for donations, i.e., make it possible to make the change via the website as opposed to via telephone.

Role:  General Member of the Public & I'm not sure how to answer this question. I haven't worked for Free Press. As I said, I represent indigent defendants in criminal appeals in California.
