Kimberlin Update- Bloggers Continue to Fight For Free Speech

The Day after the cronies of  convicted terrorist Brett Kimberlin went after the family of Blogger's club president Ali Akbar, the bomber and his friends got their answer--The blogging community will not be intimidated! I just received this press release:

WASHINGTON, DC -- The National Bloggers Club, Inc. is announcing that it will continue to raise funds to provide financial relief to member Aaron Walker. An appeal to the peace order granted by Judge C.J. Vaughey was filed Monday.

Last week the Maryland judge issued a 6-month peace order and jailed attorney Aaron Walker, preventing him from mentioning Brett Kimberlin in public. A Blogger and Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney wrote of this order that, “this is a clear-cut case of a First Amendment violation — about as clear-cut as you’ll ever hear.”  Since then, Walker has been working with a new legal team and the National Bloggers Club to legally restore his free speech rights.

"We've got over a dozen lawyers coordinating on this now, volunteering their time. Aaron’s first amendment rights are being violated when he is barred from even being able to publicly mention the case or Kimberlin’s violent past," said Bloggers Club president Ali A. Akbar.

Akbar continued, "Yesterday they came after the Bloggers Club and my family -- my family. We're not stopping. We've got to raise $5,000 more dollars to continue to stand with Aaron Walker and I'm positive supporters will continue to step up."

The National Bloggers Club is working to promote KimberlinFiles.org where supporters continue to give financial and written support to this cause.

In keeping with the ruling of the court, Walker's response was simply, "thank you".

Folks, this isn't a matter of conservative or liberal, its all about the first amendment!  Please go to the site KimberlinFiles.org and give what you can. Today its Ali Akbar, Aaron Walker or Stacy McCain...tomorrow it may be you.
