Owen Shroyer case
Imagine being locked up in solitary confinement in federal prison because you said "1776" on the steps of the Capitol. That's what happened to Owen Shroyer, an independent media journalist, activist and commentator. The judge explicitly sentenced him because of his speech, taking special offense to a single word: 1776. 1776 Law Center supports Owen Shroyer's case because no American should go to prison for saying 1776 on the steps of the Capitol.
