I am a great admirer of the USA's founding fathers. The USA did what UK citizens should have done long ago, they threw off the reigns of a corrupt political power that is not based on democracy at all, but in name only. Unfortunately the USA has lost some ground in the battle "of the people, by the people" since that time.

What exactly do you find objectionable on this "about the ACLU" page

aclu.org

"The U.S. Supreme Court had yet to uphold a single free speech claim when Roger Baldwin, Crystal Eastman, Albert DeSilver and others formed the ACLU in 1920. Activists languished in jail for distributing anti-war literature. State sanctioned violence against African Americans was routine. Women won the right to vote only in August of that year. Constitutional rights for lesbians and gays, bisexual and transgender people in those days were unthinkable.”
