Bring about legislation which will include the deceased among those who, when defamed, can have the same legal protection; by giving their family members a statute upon which to base a civil cause of action.

The Anti-Defamation Legacy Law Advocates see this law as any other; a possible deterrent for most and a tool for the more serious offenders. If a person is deceased nearly anything can be said or written about them. Even the non-famous can be targets which mean that we and our loved ones are at risk.

We hope it will make deciding to adopt or support the proposed legislation a bipartisan effort.
