Two Sue Feds Over Anti-Bush T-Shirt Arrest

Anyone who thinks it is right to criminalise those who choose to peacefully voice dissent to their government is fundamentally unpatriotic.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A couple arrested for wearing anti-Bush T-shirts to a July 4 presidential appearance filed a federal lawsuit on Tuesday alleging their First Amendment rights were violated.

Nicole and Jeff Rank were removed from the event at the West Virginia Capitol in handcuffs after revealing T-shirts with President Bush's name crossed out on the front. Nicole Rank's shirt had the words "Love America, Hate Bush" on the back and Jeff Rank's said "Regime change starts at home."

Their lawsuit was filed in federal court by American Civil Liberties Union attorneys.

Dissent is what helps keep up a free and balanced Country. Once people start to get arrested for speaking their mind against something they don't like, then the Government over those people is turning into a tyrannical one. This is a critical time for Americans. Where you go from here is up to you. Tyranny or Freedom.
