Via The Downers Grove Sun:
A Downers Grove man believes he is being prosecuted for his political views – and an area attorney has taken his case pro bono.
Jeff Zurawski, 39, of Downers Grove and Sarah M. Hartfield, 45, of Naperville were initially charged with disorderly conduct for displaying a banner that read “Impeach Bush and Cheney – LIARS” on May 6 on the Great Western Trail above Interstate 355.
But more charges were brought against the two war protesters last week in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton: reckless conduct and unauthorized display of a sign in viewing of a highway, both misdemeanors.
The new charges each carry a penalty of up to one year imprisonment, while the original charge was up to a three-month sentence in the county jail.
“This is political prosecution,” said environmental rights attorney Shawn Collins, who has taken on Zurawski and Hartfield’s case pro bono.
They’re doing it Peeps..
The Bush administration is sparking us to Revolt!
..It’s going to get surreal now Justice Bloggers..
This is a crossover point.
What ever happened to Freedom of Speech?
Oi Vey!!!…enough already with unfounded persecution of liberal views. Don’t they have more important things to deal with?
Hi Phil!
I see that you have the Suzie-Q blog on your blogroll. 😉

Phil_in_ny,
Remember the old addage, Divide and Conquer…
The Bush Administration is fostering outright Treason for allowing this…
He’s compromising American Security by these tactics..
It’ll backfire on him while making our external enemies stronger!
Bring it on Bush! Let’s go!
Ask Yourselves, How long before Bush makes a move to Arrest the Democratic Congress and the Media ?
I’ll be following this. I love the Freeway Bloggers!
Just another extension of the political Justice department in action. Justice is no longer Just.
Remember the old addage, Divide and Conquer…

“What ever happened to Freedom of Speech?”
You never had it to lose it, girl! Free speech has only been tolerated… barely… in any country at any time.
The more they crack down, the more come out of the woodwork…
It’s like squeezing water.
“How long before Bush makes a move to Arrest the Democratic Congress and the Media ?”
I don’t know, but one of his recent executive orders allows him to take property of those he deems to be a threat to the “success” of the U.S. “plan” in Iraq, so it follows that he might try to confiscate lefties’ campaign coffers or confiscate their properties if they gain momentum in trying to stop him. So I think that before he starts arresting people, he might try to take their money away first… but he’s a dirty poo-poo head, any way you look at him.
Anyone who doesn’t have an up to date passport needs to rectify that situation post haste.
Coming to a neighborhood near you.
Martial Law!
Great anology uber…
