Freedom of Speech? Not in Alameda County.

Well, it happened. Walter Hoye, Executive Elder of the Progressive Missionary Baptist Church in Berkeley, California, is behind bars.

The case Star Parker brought to our attention a couple of months ago ended up before a bad judge. And, though, Elder Hoye's only action was standing outside an abortion clinic with a sign reading "Jesus [God] loves you and your baby. Let us help you", this unjust judge tossed him in jail. This was despite winning a lawsuit back in December which he thought protected him from such harassment.

This article summarizes the situation and gives an address where your cards and letters of encouragement can be sent. Please do so.
