free speech victories.
Constitutional law attorneys with a Mississippi-based pro-family organization are staying busy defending the free-speech rights of Christians in Arkansas and Texas who are encountering resistance from their local law enforcement officials.
Two sisters in Little Rock -- Talitha and Rachael Snow, ages 20 and 16 respectively -- were charged last month with disorderly conduct for handing out gospel tracts to women who were entering an abortion mill in the capital city. Attorneys with the American Family Association's Center for Law & Policy came to their defense in court yesterday (October 4) and were successful in winning a dismissal of the case against Talitha.
On the heels of that victory, CLP attorneys are in a Dallas, Texas, federal court today on behalf of a Christian who has been threatened with arrest for sharing his faith and distributing Christian literature during the Texas State Fair. They are seeking protection for Darrel Rundus's right to do that on the state fairgrounds, which is public property.
