Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Zene Crowe Champion of the First Amendment

Daniel Crowe will be joining me to discuss the defense of his First Amendment rights against the Oregon State Bar. According to the Goldwater Institute, last “Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that Oregon State Bar officials violated a conservative lawyer’s First Amendment rights when the Bar endorsed political statements critical of then-President Donald Trump and his supporters in a magazine funded by mandatory member dues. That was a bridge too far for Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Crowe, a practicing Oregon lawyer, who disagreed with what was published but was nevertheless forced to pay dues to support it. The Goldwater Institute sued the Oregon State Bar and its officials on his behalf for violation of his constitutional rights.”

Daniel is a husband, father, retired Army Officer, former JAG, and active prosecutor in Central Oregon. Previously he has served as Oregon’s inaugural Veterans’ Advocate, Mt. Angel school board member, and Chair of the Military and Veteran’s Law Section of the Oregon State Bar. www.croweforjustice.com
