Letter to Doug Ericksen re: First Amendment Violations

****UPDATE 20 July 2018****

This campaign WORKED.  Doug Ericksen has un-blocked MANY BUT NOT ALL constituents.
{Are you still blocked?  Can you like or comment on posts on Doug’s public figure page? You are NOT blocked. Can you only share posts? You are blocked.}

If you are a constituent in the 42nd district and you are still blocked, please send us an email.

***Original Letter***

17 July 2018
Senator Doug Ericksen
PO Box 748
Ferndale, WA 98248

Dear Senator Ericksen,

You are violating the First Amendment rights of your constituents by blocking them from your social media pages.  As detailed in the letter you received from the ACLU in late 2017, deleting comments and blocking constituents on social media is a form of government censorship that violates the First Amendment.

We, your constituents named below, ask you to open your social media forums to all constituents and discontinue your practice of silencing those presenting opinions or facts that are inconvenient to your propaganda.  If any constituent is still blocked from your social media forums on August 1st or thereafter, you will elevate this matter to legal action.

Sincerely,

Riveters Collective, and your constituents named below.
