First off, thanks much to the four sponsors I have so far. $143 isn’t a bad gig.<\/p>\n

However …<\/p>\n

We can do better. Or, at least, we did in 2003.<\/p>\n

Granted, the CBLDF isn’t about fighting world hunger, clearing land mines, or saving the whales. But it is about freedom and liberty — the idea that First Amendment rights to free expression apply to comic books and graphic novels as much as they do to any other artistic creation. <\/p>\n

Both freedom and comic books are near and dear to my heart. <\/p>\n

For information on some recent cases the CBLDF is helping pay for see here<\/a> (update here<\/a>), here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>. Activities last year are summarized here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
