The Institute for Justice, that is. IJ is what the ACLU pretends to be -- a defender of personal liberty against the power of the State. As IJ states it:
The Institute for Justice is the nation’s premier libertarian public interest law firm. We are in courts across the country preserving freedom of opportunity and challenging government’s control over individuals’ lives. We sue governments when they stand in the way of entrepreneurs who seek to earn an honest living free from arbitrary and oppressive government interference. We litigate on behalf of individuals whose private property rights are threatened by government excesses. We represent parents who seek to choose the education that best meets their children’s needs. We defend individuals’ rights to publish and access information regardless of the communications medium involved.Why not drop by their site, or, better yet, send them a donation.
Our cases demonstrate that individual initiative, freedom of enterprise, freedom of speech, private property rights, and the legal protection of these liberties are vital to the future of all Americans, but especially those at the bottom of the economic ladder. The Institute for Justice’s clients and cases illustrate the tangible benefits of liberty and the need for greater protection of basic American freedoms.
I'm very proud to have worked there my second summer of law school and give money to them every year.
