Journalist Silenced!

PORT CLINTON, OH - Sandusky resident, Bryan DuBois, is incarcerated in the
Ottawa County Detention Facility after being indicted for intimidation and
retaliation, after consistently defending himself on his website Erie Voices (erievoices.com). He is unable to respond to the legal attacks because the same prosecutors who he has criticized have set his bond at $40,000 in Ottawa County, and $150,000 in Cuyahoga County, were he was charged with extortion and possession of criminal tools. DuBois claims that the only reason prosecutors care about him is because he has delivered highly effective political speech and allegations of misconduct that the prosecutors are trying to silence. See erievoices.com. Your first amendment rights to free speech depend on it!

For more information on this case please visit www.erievoices.com or contact Jessica Baumgartner at 561-628-6613 or Mandy DuBois at 419-621-0169 or 419-357-0398.

Hat tip to Knappster, who suggest those in the blogging community who are financially able should contribute some money to this guy's defense. I'm seeing right now if I can scrounge up some.
