NEWS CONFERENCE ANNOUNCING LAWSUIT TO STOP CITY’S SUPPRESSION OF POLITICAL FREE SPEECH:
Liberty Institute Seeks to Overturn Unconstitutional City Ordinance That Bans Political Speech on City Property
WHAT: Today, less than 30 days before the general election, Liberty Institute will hold a news conference announcing a lawsuit filed on behalf of a local citizen who was arrested, jailed and criminally prosecuted for expressing his political views on city property on primary election day, March 2.
WHO: Liberty Institute constitutional attorneys and our client will offer comments and answer questions.
WHEN: TODAY! Thursday, October 7, at 2 p.m. CST
WHERE: Outdoors on the sidewalk of the Watauga Community Center, where the incident occurred. 7901 Indian Springs Rd, Watauga, Texas 76148
DETAILS: The plaintiff was arrested on March 2, Texas’ primary election day, and thrown in jail for five hours for holding a political sign on city property. He was then criminally prosecuted. Rightfully, the criminal charges were dismissed by the court, but the extreme city ordinance banning political speech still stands.
