Do either of you know of a good lawyer for free speech cases? I mean a 
damn good one. Because I would be declaring war on the entire country, 
the GOP,
the so-called Patriots and possibly even individual congressmen and Bush 
himself. I think I am sitting on one of the biggest online free speech cases

I got your request on the Politech List. Don't know if this will help, 
however:

I was embroiled for a while, in 1998, with keeping my gay parody of 
Peanuts on my website. For the complete story, see:

http://www.gay-bible.org/schulz/index_schulz.htm

The attorneys quickly backed off, shortly after I got full support from 
the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF); and after I created my 
"Schulz" page, showing the world I KNOW what my rights are, as a parody 
author. Since you use "fuck" in your title, you might defend your right 
by claiming parody. Or perhaps you can use a new URL with "screw" 
instead...and test them for their honesty, as that word is NOT listed 
under the forbidden "dirty" word list.

On my Schulz page, there is this section:

Legal Counsel & Communique
http://www.gay-bible.org/schulz/counsel.htm

There, you can read my correspondence with the CBLDF, which may or may 
not help your particular case. Their website is:

http://www.cbldf.org/

I'm hoping that CBLDF can either defend you directly, or give you some 
excellent referrals. Otherwise--being the smallfry I am in this global 
pool of Internet rights--I don't think I can be of any further help.

Best of luck in your worthy struggle, keith!
