Free Hunter! A Practical Call for Letters
by Carl Bussjaeger

Or perhaps that should be a call for practical letters.

By now, you should be aware that freedom-activist Jeff "Hunter" Jordan was arrested by the Ohio State Highway Patrol for carrying a concealed weapon. (Details here and here. Hunter has been indicted (he was not permitted to make a statement to the Grand Jury) and arraigned; his trial date is Thursday, May 27, 2004, at 8:00AM in the Ashland, Ohio County Courthouse. Obviously, I'd like to see as many of Hunter's supporters as at all possible pack the courthouse steps and the courtroom proper that day. The Officers of the court and the jury should see that a fine, respectable man is being tried for breaking a bad law (and one he didn't even break, the truth be told).

When I found that a companion bill had been introduced in the Senate by Sen. John Kerry and the usual liberal suspects of the Democratic Party, my intrigue turned to suspicion.

A review of the legislation revealed that my suspicions were well founded. The bill, which was introduced in March of 2003, is a covert attempt, in the name of fairness, to dismantle the Constitution and empower the Democratic Party. In the author’s opinion, this is, from a constitutional standpoint, one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation to come out of the bowels of the Democratic Party in many years.
