In an unprecedented action, the ANSWER Coalition received citations fining the organization $10,000 for the placement of posters announcing the September 15 March on Washington DC. The fines come after a campaign led by FOX news calling for the DC government to take action against those putting up posters for the September 15 demonstration.                   Contact info for Sept. 15 march
