Michael Ramirez won the Pulitzer Prize in 1994.
I like his work, first because of its artistic flair and second because his cartoons usually cut both ways. In this case, it could be looked at as the ACLU making a secretive proposition in a morally deficient situation, or with the absence of a person in the picture saying we, the ACLU, are here prepared to protect your privacy.
Years ago I sent a donation to the ACLU because their official goals are honorable. In 1999, I received requests for donations needed to promote the defeat of George W. Bush in his first race for President. Before Bush was elected, this was a clear indicator that the ACLU was aligned with the Democratic Party. Considering that their purported goal is to protect the civil rights of citizens, how could this organization take a position on a man that had not performed a single act as President. The ACLU was projecting its primary member's politics without regard for anything resembling civil rights. I am embarrassed that I ever gave money to these dishonest, deconstructionists. Now, every December, I send the the ACLU a Christmas card.
ACLU
125 Broad Street
18th Floor
New York, NY
10004
The cards have not come back so the address must be correct.
