What Should It Mean To Be An American?

A discussion with Ken Hurley, Civication, Inc., presented at a meeting of the First Coast Freethought Society, Jacksonville, Florida, April 19, 2010.

Idiots, Activist Judges, Civics, and the United States Supreme Court

Speaker: Ken Hurley, founder and director of Civication, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting civics education and civil responsibility; and former Director of the Board, Florida ACLU, and President, Northeast Florida Chapter of the ACLU from 2001-2007.
