![]() ![]() ![]() Last year, an example of one of Nelson's posters appeared in a Corcoran museum exhibit of Washington vernacular art. I ended up selling about 6,000 of the t-shirts, which more than paid for the thousands I’d spent on paper, ink, rollers, and wheat paste, and helped pay for some of my first proper printing equipment." Everyone was convinced we had engineered the whole thing, but we had nothing to do with it-the whole thing had a life of its own at that point. At one point, a bicycle messenger named Christopher Stalvey was denied access to the Justice Department for wearing one of these shirts, and the ACLU then threatened to sue the Justice Department for its policy regarding the shirt. While he was waiting for a court date, he decided to move from secret postering to t-shirt sales: "It ended up becoming a very successful campaign in itself. My friends and I did a much larger run this time, and hand-printed about 750 posters."Įventually, the authorities caught up with Nelson. "I remember being quite gleeful and giddy at how great the final product looked, with its ridiculous (but also quite accurate) message. But the reaction was good enough that he rolled out the second, updated version. area in one night, and a number of us got caught by the authorities," says Nelson. Smaller print on the posters included a lengthy list of reasons for the declaration, which included ill-treatment of AIDS patients and efforts to weaken Miranda rights, as well as Meese's role in the Iran-Contra affair.įriends from the local music scene helped print and paste an initial run of 250 posters. "It took big teams of people and lots of coordinating to put these posters up all over the Washington, D.C. I was so angry that I decided to do a big poster campaign against Meese, and bought the largest paper I could find." At that point I had been silk-screening posters for several years, mostly for bands I played in, using rudimentary homemade equipment in the leaky garage of our rented house. "Things were much more regional and getting in the National news was a really big deal. "There were no things such as blogs and tweets," he says. Nelson and his cohort had to work a bit harder at it. I want more legal immigration.It's the sort of sentiment that sends people to their laptops nowadays. GRAHAM: “I want to fix immigration from a wider perspective.Somebody has to watch those who watch us.” The FISA court is an important tool, it cannot be abused for political purposes. Campaigns are going to be targeted by foreign governments in the future, and we need to have rules that are fair and will work for both sides. The confirmation process was attacked viciously, and it barely withstood the attack. ![]() GRAHAM: “The rule of law cannot survive against mob rule.GRAHAM: “So here’s the question before the Committee and the country: was a FISA warrant issued against an American citizen, Carter Page, based on a document prepared by a foreign agent, paid for by a political party, that is unverified to this day? Don’t you want to know the answer to that? Was there a counterintelligence investigation opened up against the Trump Campaign without real solid evidence?”.On Investigation into DOJ/FBI and FISA Warrant Process: And we’re going to put the interests of the country before anything else when we do our fighting.” Don’t think for a minute that this is about Trump it is about Republican conservatives. GRAHAM: “ Barr has one of the best reputations in this town, and look what is being said about him.I stood up during this debate and said I trust Mueller, I’ve known him for 20 years, I think he’ll be fair to the president and the country as a whole, and I’ll make sure I do everything I can to do his job without political interference, and he did.” To all those who wanted Mueller to do his job without political interference: mission accomplished. That is not exactly what the rule of law is all about.” He is going to be a great Justice, and I’m hoping after this debacle we’ll get back to a more mainstream way of challenging a nominee that will adopt the Susan Collins way of evaluating a nominee, not the mob. GRAHAM: “Thank you for helping, those who did help Brett, who stood by Brett, much appreciated.On Senate Confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh: While there, Graham spoke to the group and touched on important topics facing the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he serves as Chairman. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) was today awarded the Honorable Edwin Meese III Award by the Republican National Lawyers Association for his career accomplishments and leadership protecting freedom and the rule of law while upholding Republican ideals in the face of adverse political challenges. ![]()
