It seems to me that charging Bell for 'stalking' in relation to the collection of public documents violates his 1st Amendment rights with respect to 'press'. Not only does that right guarantee you the right to distribute, but it guarantee's my right as a potential reader to access. Every citizen has a right to collect what public information they can on public officials; elected, appointed, or hired. ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
