Tamara Saviano was fired from her job because she responded to an open letter by Charlie Daniels.
I wrote a letter, below to the fellow who got her fired. And yes, I really did call Operation TIPS to turn him in as a terrorist.

Mr. Webster,
If Charlie Daniels has a right to call anti-war
protesters names in an open letter that explicitly
invites responses, than Tamara Saviano is certainly
entitled to respond, as she did, from her home email.
Yes Mr. Webster, I am one of the many who received
notification of your dastardly deed, and I am
nauseated to my core.
Perhaps you don't believe in the First Amendment,
which not only gives Charlie the right to speak his
mind, but gives people like Ms. Saviano the right to
respond.
There is a reason the First Amendment sits on top of
the Bill of Rights: it is because free speech is our
most precious right. if you don't love free speech,
then you don't love America. if you don't love
America, you are (as Rush Limbaugh put it),
"Anti-American, Anti-Capitalist Marxists and
Communist."
If you are a communist, why don't you go back in time
to the Soviet Union?
Our president demands that you are "with us or against
us" in the war on terror. By denying Ms. Saviano her
first amendment rights, it is clear that you are
against us. I will be reporting you to the Department
of Homeland Security, and I am not joking.
