Write your senator! Take action!

Folks, a terrible injustice is about to occur in our great land. An innocent party could be ruthlessly destroyed, flushed out of the system, if you will, never to be heard from again.

And this isn't just one innocent individual. There are quite a few involved, and several of them are stunningly extraordinary. Some are very elderly. It just so happens that they are all named Jack.

If we don't act fast, here's what could happen... in the words of the Associated Press:
Hundreds of bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey, some of it almost 100 years old, may be unceremoniously poured down a drain because authorities suspect it was being sold by someone without a license.

Read the full article here.

Then write to your government officials, especially if you live in Tennessee. Prevent this travesty of justice. Our legal system is based in a philosophy of innocence until guilt is proven beyond reasonable doubt, not "guilt by association". The whiskey has done nothing wrong. It belongs in the custody of upright, law-abiding citizens who will appreciate what it has to offer. Or a bunch of drunk rednecks. Either way.
