*Subject: *Levees.Org rejects ASCE demand to stop showing video
Please join us at a short press conference as we reject a demand by the
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) to stop distributing our
student-made video spoofing an overly cozy relationship between the ASCE
and the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Two prominent law firms, Adams and Reese LLP, and Cooley Godward Kronish
LLP, have offered to defend us pro bono. Representatives from Adams &
Reese will be on hand at the press conference.
Councilmember Stacy Head has confirmed participation.

Since the debut of our cute, but on-target video, ASCE has confirmed the
launch of both an internal and an external ethics investigation into
allegations similar to the ones we raise in our video.
*Please come support Levees.Org as we show citizens here and everywhere
that ASCE shall not bully and intimidate a fledgling non-profit and high
school children out of exercizing their First Amendment rights.
*
If you haven't already, please sign a letter to the President of ASCE
demanding that the results of the ethics investigations be made public!
