Because Freedom Can't Protect Itself

The ACLU of Idaho successfully intervened when the Idaho Chapter of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) was denied permission for an educational display in the Idaho Capital Rotunda due to the subject of the display.  Our demand letter to legislative leadership that cited caselaw on viewpoint discrimination resulted in NORML being granted permission to display its message in the rotunda.  On January 17, 2005, NORML’s display at the rotunda was held, attracting TV, radio, and print media coverage.  Boise attorney Maria Andrade served as ACLU of Idaho cooperating counsel.
