A couple of interesting web sites to possibly take a look at. The first at the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression annually awards the Jefferson Muzzle Awards to individuals or groups that stifle free expression in one way or another in this country. www.tjcenter.org/muzzles/muzzle-archive-2011
