The Right to Complain to Public Officials

E-mail Print PDF
Even if you are rude and insulting, you have the right to communicate with public officials.  Darren Drahota wrote several emails to Senator Bill Avery.  The emails included Drahota's opinion that Avery and the ACLU were sympathetic to terrorists and anti-American.  While the emails were crass and intended to hurt, they did not include any threats – just Drahota's strong opinions.  Drahota was convicted of disturbing the peace, and ACLU Nebraska has joined in calls for that conviction to be reversed by the Nebraska Supreme Court.
