In reaction to the troll, the membership of the ACLU has doubled.

I first joined in a similar way. When Bush I called Dukakis a "card carrying member of the ACLU", in effect insinuating that defending the US Constitution was the equivalent of joining the Communist Party, I asked myself, "Why I am I not an ACLU member?" Before that, it had never occurred to me that this was a choice I could make.

If you reside in the US, are you an ACLU member? If not, why not?
