The number of "card-carrying members of the ACLU" has jumped from 280,000 to 330,000 since September 11. Lots of conservatives who used to despise the ACLU are turning to it now.

This post wouldn't be complete without a link for you to join yourself, of course.
(One thing I should note is that, if you do join, you'll likely want to ask them not to send you any third party mail. They have this pretty reasonable policy where they forward lots of junkmail from other organizations, but where they don't actually give your address out to anyone. So I got tons of junkmail, but they stopped as soon as I asked them to.)
