ACLU: Keeping Itself in Business
In Prairie Village, Kansas, the ACLU helped to draft a signage law.
The ordinance says sign placement and size must be restricted to prevent them from creating traffic hazards. The sign ordinance also seeks to prevent “visual clutter” in neighborhoods.
“The law changes all the time in this area,” Wetzler said, noting the latest version of the ordinance was drafted with the ACLU’s input. “There have been new cases that come out, and if we need to look at it, we will.”
David Quinly, a resident, then was ticketed for violating the law with his own homemade signs “opposing the war in Iraq.”
And now, he is being represented by ACLU attorney, John Simpson…
“It’s clearly a First Amendment issue,” said Quinly’s attorney, John Simpson. “We think … that the Prairie Village sign ordinance is too restrictive.”
…
“You’ve discriminated, in effect, against political speech, which is the speech most protected in our (First) Amendment,” Simpson said.

ACLU helps draft a town’s law regarding sign restrictions. Man gets fined for having anti-war signs that violate those restrictions. ACLU then helps sue the town for free-speech violations
