The ACLU intends to destroy Capitalism

Along with benefiting the lower social class of our economy the ACLU is also looked down upon some of its actions. The ACLU is shown as intending to tear down traditional america. From my point of view there are some acts that they undertake that take the use of the ACLU to the extreme in which it makes sense that they try to flex our economy to the wrong direction. On the other hand they also help out smaller voices get heard and they look out for the american people. There are many cases in which they recieve good and bad reactions. In the link below it shows a discution on the ACLU and its ambition on The O'Reilly Factor.

ACLU In A Nutshell :

• "So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy." - ACLU Founder Roger Baldwin
• Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.
• Your right to equal protection under the law - protection against unlawful discrimination.
• Your right to due process - fair treatment by the government whenever the loss of your liberty or property is at stake.
• Your right to privacy - freedom from unwarranted government intrusion into your personal and private affairs.
• In conclusion to ACLU, it covers protecting the most vulnerable memebers of our society. Members that dont have the ability to fight back and say something due to their placement in our society. I believe that it is a crucial and important organization in our economy that is needed to fix inequality.

Why I Chose ACLU

(American Civil Liberties Union)
Observing and taking action is a important factor in our society today. Growing up I was continuously agrivated at the treatment of human beings in our society. I was glued to watching cops mostly and seeing the treatment that criminals received throughout their arrest, and clearly being aggrivated at the treatment given depending on their reason for being arrested. I noticed that I had strong feelings towards the rights of people whether they were citizens or not. I feel like the overall treatment that citizens receive is harsh especially in poverty. The rights that we have tend to be flexible only towards the goverment and the people working for it, in result creating a unfiar rigorous atmosphere. Ranging from practices that police undertake in city schools to discrimination of people diagnosed HIV/AIDS, ACLU is a necessary union that is needed in our society to challenge the rights that we rercieve to becoming better so it not only benifits a few but many.
