Letter To The Editors
Re: Exposing Liars Is Enough In Most Cases
(Sun., Feb. 26, 2012, Philadelphia Inquirer Editorial Page)
Dear Sirs,
The First Amendment controversy surrounding the Stolen Valor Act is hazy at best. The Stolen Valor Act seems most readably comparable to laws prohibiting/concerning the crime of impersonating a law-enforcement officer or official. The issue of Freedom of Speech towards the Stolen Valor Act seems only tangently relevant, in my opinion, Halloween exempted.
Sincerely,
(Name Redacted)
Port Richmond, Philadelphia, 19134
(W) XXX-XXX-XXXX
(H) N/A
