     I am glad to see that readers to this list are finally starting to 
     ignore the the below. When it will dawn on Filtering Facts that 1st 
     and 4th ammendment clauses protects all parties, including the good 
     Doctor and FF?

Dr. Laura continues to liberally apply her baseball bat to ALA.  Last week her 
show was bombarded with prank calls from ALA supporters pretending to have 
problems.  On Monday, Dr. Laura received a fax saying "I am my kid's mom, and a 
SLUT" that said "American Library Association" at the top and was from an ALA 
office phone number.

These tactics appear to be backfiring, as Dr. Laura has only made ALA more of a 
priority for her 20 million listeners.  She did another anti-ALA monologue at 
the beginning of Thursday's show, available at 
http://www.audionet.com/premrad/shows/drlaura/9905/laura0506.ram

Referring to ALA's opposition to an Illinois bill requiring filters for 
children in public schools:

"They [ALA] definitely want to make sure your children have easy access to 
pornography, under the guise of free speech.  This is a dangerous group...This 
is absurd, I cannot imagine that any sane adult would use the concept of 
discrimination as an issue, when people are simply trying to protect children 
from pornography.  It is amazing to me.  We're not talking about adults, we're 
talking about our children.  Why do we have a rating system in the movies?  Is 
the American Library Association against that too?...I'm so fed up with the 
American Library Association, I can hardly spit."
