ConsumerAffairs.com has a nice story today, covering our answer to the Connecticut Attorney General’s recent defamatory remarks regarding craigslist, here is an excerpt:

Craigslist is on absolutely solid ground and should be given an award instead of being threatened by political officeholders who are paid to know better,” said ConsumerAffairs.com President James R. Hood. “Craigslist provides an invaluable public service at no cost to the vast majority of its users, which is a lot more than the State of Connecticut can say.”

“Throughout the land, corporate interests and reckless politicians are trying to subvert the First Amendment rights of American citizens by stifling free expression on the Internet while the large media companies who should manning the barricades sit idly by,” he said.

“Internet sites provide a means for citizens to speak freely, providing an important and Constitutionally-protected balance to the constant barrage of corporate propaganda and government hogwash,” Hood said. “Those paid by the public to uphold the Constitution should do their jobs instead of putting the iron boot of the state where it doesn’t belong.”
