Not quite on point but I want to make a note of it:
Of course, Green Delaware isn t the only organization to be harassed. For example, see Alert 88: Supporter of poultry workers arrested in Delaware. Civic, environmental and labor activist Martha Denison, a good friend of Green Delaware, reports various suspicious happenings. Family Court activist Barbara Beeghley has many horror stories. In 1995 Common cause Lobbyist John Flaherty was seeking the Democratic nomination for a House of Representatives seat. He was harassed with criminal charges by the City of Wilmington because he had wildflowers rather than grass in his front yard. The charges were dropped after extensive publicity.
