Jim Fosbinder
Wailuku HI
First Amendment Attorney
General Counsel
Jim is a cutting edge First Amendment attorney who often wins the kind
of cases many attorneys would shy away from. (Many attorneys would shy
away from some of his clients, too.) A champion for the underdog, Jim
has had numerous court victories against the entrenched establishment
published in the law books, many of which have appeared in the news
nationwide.
Jim is coming all the way from Hawaii for a reduced fee to assert for
our right to have our political messages on the blimp fly in "no-fly"
zones, such as Washington DC, New York City, and Disney World, and other
places where our constitutionally protected political speech needs to be
heard.
