Pro-
First Amendment organization who
speaks out on
intolerance, and things that
restrict civil liberties. From their website (www.pfaw.org): "People For the
American Way organizes and
mobilizes Americans to
fight for
fairness,
justice,
civil rights and the
freedoms guaranteed by the
Constitution."
Recently they got quite a bit of press for publicizing Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson's remarks on the 700 Club about how PFAW, as well as the ACLU, gays, lesbians, pagans, abortionists, and feminists are responsible for America getting terrorized becuase God is no longer protecting us from evil. (I was at lunch with co-workers last week and we realized we had pretty much every one of those categories covered.)
The president of PFAW is Ralph G. Neas, a lawyer and political activist. The main issues of the group are education, tracking the religious right, free expression, religious liberty, equal rights and building democracy.
