The Thomas More Law Center announced today that it has filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan against the City of Coldwater on behalf of the Common Sense Patriots of Branch County and two of its members, Barbara Brady and Martin Lepper, alleging that the City’s recent ban of all signs in the Four Corners Parks violates their constitutional right to Free Speech.
The Common Sense Patriots was established in 2009 as part of the nationwide political, grass-roots movement of American patriots known as the TEA Party. They were motivated by the concern that the government was trampling on fundamental liberties. The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) is a national conservative Christian public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
