- LIBERTYVILLE HIGH SCHOOL GROUP TO WORK FOR CIVIL LIBERTIES
-
- LIBERTYVILLE - A group of Libertyville High School students have formed
- an organization in the Libertyville area to protect the civil liberties
- of the people in the high school and community. The group, known as the
- Partnership for a Free America, will educate the people about their
- rights, provide a support resource for those people whose rights have
- been violated, and abolish laws which the Partnership feels violate the
- people's rights.
- In order to protect the civil liberties of the people in the
- community properly, the Partnership believes that it is necessary that
- the people learn exactly what their rights are. Because of this, a
- major facet of the Partnership's actions will be informing the people
- about their rights. "The government has been violating the people's
- rights, and the mass media have been telling them to accept it," said
- Partnership founder Sameer Parekh at the Cafe Kismet in Waukegan on July
- 24th.
- The Partnership will provide a support resource for people who
- feel they have been deprived of due process. "When the people are
- united," Parekh believes, "it is more difficult to oppress them."
- The Partnership will also work to abolish the curfew laws in the
- area because members believe that the government should not act as the
- parents of the people, and that the laws violate the fourteenth
- amendment to the Constitution. "The only people who have a right to set
- a child's curfew are his or her parents. This law is almost as
- discriminatory as the Jim Crow laws of the early 20th century," said
- Parekh.
- Other laws which the Partnership will work to remove are the
- drug laws. This country's drug problem, members of the Partnership
- believe, is the result of the laws themselves, not because of the drugs.
- "The black market itself causes the Tdrug-related' violence and,
- according to a study done by The Cato Insitute, 80 percent of
- Tdrug-related' deaths. A clean, inexpensive, supply available at any
- Osco Pharmacy would eliminate these problems," Parekh said, commenting
- upon this aspect of the Partnership's actions.
- The Partnership for a Free America qualifies under tax code
- section 509(a)(2), and is thus tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3). The
- Partnership is working to formalize this status. One-year memberships
- are available for $15 to adults and $10 to students. This includes a
- subscription to the Partnership's newsletter The Free Journal and a 10%
- discount on promotional products. For more information, contact Sameer
- Parekh at 708-362-9659.
