Multi-color poster printed on white paper. A rectangular graphic is centered on the upper two-thirds of the page. The image shows a winged trophy decorated with skulls against a background that is blue on the bottom and polka-dot on the top. A small image of a house next to a tree appears at bottom left and right. "For Meritorious *Self-Censorship and Heroic Compliance" is printed in red above the trophy. Vertical text printed along the right side of the graphic reads, "*Self-censorship is the voluntary relinquishment of free speech." The trophy is labeled, "Dept. of Homeland" and "Conformity." The heading, "The 9/11 Opinions Act" appears below the graphic. Small text fills the bottom third of the page and begins, "In response to 9/11, Congress passed the compulsory Uniformity-of-Opinions act. This Act mandates an ongoing series of restrictions on your Constitutional rights." A statement in small print that provides information on Citizens to Elect Our Public Defender and notes that the print is an art/law collaboration between poster maker Doug Minkler and Attorney Aram James is printed at bottom.
