Now, more than ever, we need laws protecting the deceased from defamation. We have nothing on the books and the press can do whatever they want, whenever they want. It not only hurts the reputation of the deceased, but causes pain for his family.
MoveOn has a petition going and I think we should all sign for Michael's legacy: see link below

[h=1]"Protect The Legacy of the Deceased and The Sanity of Their Survivors" (AdLLaw Initiative)[/h]Petition by Anti-Defamation Legacy Law Advocates
To be delivered to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama
Bring about legislation which will include the deceased among those who, when defamed, can have the same legal protection; by giving their family members a statute upon which to base a civil cause of action.
The Anti-Defamation Legacy Law Advocates see this law as any other; a possible deterrent for most and a tool for the more serious offenders. If a person is deceased nearly anything can be said or written about them. Even the non-famous can be targets which mean that we and our loved ones are at risk.
We hope it will make deciding to adopt or support the proposed legislation a bipartisan effort.

[h=1]"Protect The Legacy of the Deceased and The Sanity of Their Survivors" (AdLLaw Initiative)[/h]Petition by Anti-Defamation Legacy Law Advocates
To be delivered to The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama
Bring about legislation which will include the deceased among those who, when defamed, can have the same legal protection; by giving their family members a statute upon which to base a civil cause of action.
The Anti-Defamation Legacy Law Advocates see this law as any other; a possible deterrent for most and a tool for the more serious offenders. If a person is deceased nearly anything can be said or written about them. Even the non-famous can be targets which mean that we and our loved ones are at risk.
We hope it will make deciding to adopt or support the proposed legislation a bipartisan effort.
