REUTERS: The American Nazi Party adopts a road
The American Nazi Party adopted a quiet stretch of rural road in Oregon state, causing an uproar after getting a sign crediting its "work". The sign is located near Salem Oregon, and also lists the initials "NSM" which stands for the National Socialists Movement another white supremacist group. Officials said there was nothing they could do about the Nazi litter pick up because barring the program would violate its First Amendment free speech rights. The US Supreme Court denied cert in Yarnell v. Cuffley 00-289 in which the State of Missouri sought to reverse a federal district court decision which held that the State's denial of a KKK permit to adopt a highway was a violation of the Klan's First Amendment Right to Free Speech.
