San Anselmo lawyer Ford Greene (center), speaking with Marin Registrar of Voters Elaine Ginnold, paid $545 for a manual recount of the Ross Valley flood fee results, which gave him access to count the disqualified ballots. (Special to the IJ/Douglas Zimmerman)

Ford Greene of San Anselmo, an attorney who specializes in suing organizations such as the Church of Scientology, asks a series of questions about a Transcendental Meditation program at Terra Linda High School. At one point, several audience members shouted at Greene to sit down. A Transcendental Meditation club is being formed at the school. (IJ photo/Alan Dep)

Drake's 'toxic' signs
[...] If the Drake Boulevard ranter cared about our troops, he would not contribute to a climate that leads to more death.

Far from proclaiming his free-speech rights, perhaps the ranter should be tried for treason, for aiding and abetting the enemy in a time of war.

—  Michelle Shelfer, San Anselmo
Letter to IJ Editor 07-16-2005

 

 

Freedom of speech
[...] Ford Greene has committed a series of almost unforgiveable acts: he has gained an education, he has acquired some property, and he has — without Ghiringhelli's permission — decided to express himself publicly about the health of the politics in his country.

Well, I think it should be remembered that there were some people who stood up to Sen. Joe McCarthy, and HUAC and the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and invading Iraq (the list is actually quite long).

So, to Ford Greene and those who love to see his messages on the wall of his building — and those who simply like the idea of boldness when it serves conscience: Carry it on!

[...] read our Constitution. It sings.

— Norman Gover, San Anselmo
