Welcome to the Arizona DU group. I had an alert on this post as possible spam. Would you like to talk about your band or Arpaio a bit? Some conversation would be nice or we may have to lock this.

I have no problem with promotion but you need to do more than just post links.

Thanks!

Arpaio censored me from scribd, so i would not be surprised if i got censored here. I have two federal lawsuits against Arpaio and his police state, U.S. District Court (phoenix). One seeks to declare the AZ harassment statute unconstitutional as a First Amendment violation. Arpaio uses this one to silence dissent.

If the message of my music offends, censor from this site. -- scott

I think they just asked you if you had any discussion to go with the topic, rather than merely posting links.

Asking for MORE conversation hardly seems like censorship...

(And I kind of had the same question myself; I couldn't figure out if there was a point to the OP.)

I created in the federal courts, for the first time in U.S. history the individual right to courthouse access (United States Court of Appeals, NYC, Huminski v. Corsones). A google on that case will bring up the type of First Amendment compliance I seek to bring to AZ. I advocate these issues for zero profit and supply my music and videos free of charge. I also take on other constitutional issues.

My other federal lawsuit charges Arpaio with First Amendment retaliation - one of the exact allegations being investigated by the DOJ. -- scott

I've had a chance to look this over as I was alerted that it might violate the rules. Personally, as a superpower guy here, I have no problem with it. The issues are relavent. The guy isn't selling anything that I can see and I welcome his participation in the Az. forum.

That's my two cents. I'm open to discussion but I just don't see a problem here.
