Thank you for contacting the ACLU.

It seems that you really do not understand what civil liberties are. You might like to read the Bill of Rights. It is short. The ACLU defends the Constitution and our civil rights. It has done so for many decades. If you are interested in learning what we do do, you might want to check out the docket, posted on the website of each of the individual entities that make up the ACLU. We handle 1000s of cases a year on many issues. But they are all civil liberties issues.

The Consitution is quite clear, when it means "citizens" it says just that, when it means "people" it says just that. People are granted most of the civil liberties.

English only? Puerto Rico has been part of the United States for almost 100 years, part of the deal was that the citizens of that island got to keep their language if they liked. So, there are 4th generation American citizens who speak their own language. They do not have to prove their citizenship every time any ones to question it.

If you are concerned about the plight of the working poor and laborers, you should support the local unions. That is what they are for.

Take Care

I write in support of the Mayor of Hazelton. He is making an attempt to protect the civil liberties of his constituents who happen to be Americans and legal immigrants. It is my wish that the ACLU would do the same. After all, isn't the A in ACLU the word American?

I will no longer support your organization until you begin to protect the blue collar and poor American/legal immigrant workers who are losing their jobs as a result of greedy corporations circumventing minimum wage requirements and payroll taxes, by hiring illegals.

By the way, please remove the A from ACLU as this is misleading to those who donate to your organization. The public is being misled into thinking your organization is here to represent the rights of Americans, which we now know is untrue.
