Impeach Obama Protester Files $2 Million Lawsuit
Impeach Obama protester, Daniel Martins has filed a $2 million federal lawsuit against Nassau County and the Nassau County Police Department on the claim that his First Amendment rights were violated when he was arrested for hanging a political sign over a Long Island Expressway overpass last year...
