Freedom of Speech Week is October 16-22. The event was created by The Media Institute and launched in 2005 with the National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation.

Scan their partnering organizations. Where are the People? The EFF isn't there. No ACLU. The group is made up of th media and their lackeys - attorneys, advertisers, newspaper publishers, TV and radio broadcasters, and photographers. Everyone wanting to protect their turf.
