Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2000 17:53:30 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ACLU Action List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> TO: ACLU Action Network FR: Jared Feuer, Internet Organizer DT: November 2, 2000 President Clinton has until Saturday, November 3, to decide whether to sign or veto a measure that would make it extremely difficult for the media to meet its obligation to inform the public of information vital to national debates on serious issues. In breaking major stories, most major newspapers run articles based in part on classified information. In recent months the media has, for example, informed the public of an Iraqi missile program, China�s likely reaction to a U.S. missile program, and the sales by Russia of deadly military technology to countries on the �terrorist� list. Without this free exchange of information and ideas, the freedom enshrined in the First Amendment loses its meaning and power, threatening the very existence of our democracy. If President Clinton signs this law, every newspaper story that relies on a leak of classified information to expose an abuse could be the basis of a criminal prosecution of the source of the leak. Exposing official gaffes should not invite fines and imprisonment. After all, what is the government trying to hide? Take Action!
