It has been thoroughly discussed.  The Debian project proper doesnt need
the hastle.

I would happily support you, because I know you are standing up for
what is right...  But then I would feel incredibly guilty when you
actually went to jail, and here is me who has been egging you on, and yet
I cant even help you out with the legal bills or in any other way.

We may all support you morally... But from the majority of us, I think
thats the only support you'll get.  Just to warn you.  I really respect
you, and will use your mirror.  But just to let you know.

No.  From what I remember, the site admin got a warning letter from the
NSA.  It was acted on promptly.  NSA boys are not fun to mess around with.
I sympathize with you man, but your country (the US) is a fascist, Nazi
land, and the army is in training, not to take out enemies, but almost all
their training now is targetted at putting down rebellions WITHIN the US.
What kind of country does that?

I dont wish your blood or financial destitution to be on my hands.

Good luck.
