Without.
Fighting against prayer in schools (good luck eradicating that as long as there are tests......), quotes from the book of psalms in the grand canyon, posting of the 10 commandments in public places.....
Now are those last two an attack on christians or jews or both?

Without. I've never heard of them fighting for something that I care about.
I hate to sound shallow, but unless you're doing something for me, it's going to be hard to elicit my support.

I voted without but I think they should be allowed to exist. When they take on these high profile cases it usually shows just how crazy they are. Like NAMBLA, who in their right mind thinks that the behavior that this organiztaion promotes is ok???

As long as they protect the rights of those who should be protected that's fine. But allowing NeoNazi's to march through a Jewish neighborhood is just plain wrong.

When I was much younger, I thought they were standing up for the downtrodden. I DONT think that any more. I think they find the most outlandish thing in the world, drape it in the flag and constitutional rights, and fire off their fireworks. For attention and media coverage. Perhaps power with the government...
BUT, I think that a lot of the tree huggers and save the funny-sexed-religious-whale groups take the most extreme position they can, and then blow their horns, I suppose hoping for a compromise. I would respect a more reasonable position a whole lot more...

In theory, an organization like the ALCU is exactly what this country should have--an organization solely dedicated to defending our most basic rights guaranteed under the constitution.
However the ALCU, as it is now, seems to pursue a rather narrow, very liberalized agenda. For example, I have never, ever heard of them taking on anything having to do with guns or gun control. It seems that unless it fits with their moral philosphy, they won't touch it.

I don't believe everything schools told me, I was TEACHING school in Great Lakes, IL at that time.
It still doesn't hold a candle to defending nambla. (Lower Case intentional)

Although I voted WITHOUT,
They do bring to light all of the freaks, wierdos and perverts that we need to watch out for......gives us a chance to fight for tighter laws and stiffer penalties on thier clients......

There was no proper poll answer.
The ACLU seems to fight for "political correctness", no matter how weird and perverted that is. Politically "correct" seems to be defined by the news media, Hollywood, and Liberals.

They do plenty of good...but need to dump some of the agenda (when was the last time you saw them stand up for the 2nd amendment?).
