    According to Bill's declaration -- in a move sure to please the judge and 
    the Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering lawyers representing the WashPost -- he 
    registered these domains on Monday:
    www.iLOVEtheWashingtonPost.com
    www.iHATEtheWashingtonPost.com
    www.SatanLOVEStheWashingtonPost.com
    www.JesusLOVEStheWashingtonPost.com

    Dear Declan,
    
    Thank GOD for Politech, and for the Politech free thinkers that read 
    Politech.  Many of your readers that emailed responses (and there were a 
    very large number of them) DO NOT share my views on abortion, and don't 
    particularly like my means of communicating my opinions about abortion, 
    i.e. the graphic pictures of aborted babies.  But ALL of them know what is 
    at stake here, and have the intellectual capability to prioritize the 
    issues at hand as to the issue of immediate importance.  They all were VERY 
    SUPPORTIVE and offered very positive advice as how to defend my rights to 
    speak within domain names.  Many also offered their opinion as to whether 
    to go to Jail over this issue, and offered other means to legally defend 
    these rights without going to jail.  Many also answered the several 
    questions I had about what Federal prison will be like.  Declan, I think 
    you'd be surprised at how many of your faithful readers have jail-time 
    experience - ha!
    
    To all of you Politech readers that responded to my plight I say a great 
    big, "THANK YOU."   I have pretty much decided that I will GO TO JAIL 
    before I will "purge" my registration and use of the domain name 
    www.TheWasingtonPostJESUS.com. It absolutely makes no sense to me that I am 
    allowed to have or speak www.TheWashingtonPostSUCKS.com and 
    www.TheWashingtonPostSATAN.com but I am not allowed to have or speak 
    www.TheWashingtonPostJESUS.com.  I don't know if the well-known Jesus 
    people or the celebrity Christian preachers will come to my defense or not, 
    but what the heck, I have the Politech people coming to my defense!   I 
    figure I have the best possible defense, the prayers from fellow Christians 
    working for justice from above, and power of intellect and academic 
    persuasion from the Politech intellectuals here on earth.  Thanks again 
    Declan to you, and to all your wonderful readers.  "Thank God for Politech, 
    and for the Politech FREE thinkers."
    
    Yours, Bill Purdy
