efforts at criminal prosecution, Hachamovitch now seeks an injunction based on 'trespass" -- on an open sidewalk which anyone else in the world can use!
Wouldn't you know it -- the New York Civil Liberties Union is on the side of Hachamovitch, and against the free speech of pro-lifers. These characters are in favor of free speech for everyone, even the Nazis in Skokie, Illinois, but not for those who protest the slaughter of children in the womb. NYCLU has filed a motion for summary judgment granting a permanent injunction to keep our client away from the sidewalk leading to Hachamovitch's killing chamber. We have just filed a brief and affidavit opposing the motion and demanding the right to a full trial.
This case involves a unique issue of the discriminatory use of trespass law on quasi-public sidewalks. We have promised to take this case all the way to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary, without charqing a sinale cent for legal fees.
That is what we do. That is what your support, material and spiritual, makes possible.

we hope you will continue your support in the months and years to come, as we do our part to meet the ever-growing challenge to the rights of Catholics in America.

P.S. We are still awaiti-ng'the Second Circuit's decision in-- the Bedford Central School District case, in which a federal judge ruled in our favor and struck down several outrageous activities by public school authorities which promoted non- Christian religion in the Bedford schools.
These activities included an earth-worshippina ritual in which the entire high school student body was made to assemble around an earth-totem, while "symbolic gifts and tributes' were offered to the Earth -- with ceremonial tom-toms beating in the background! I am not kidding!
The School District has appealed the decision in our favor. Please pray that the Second Circuit upholds every aspect of our victory at trial.
