Stop SB-1! [poster]

Oakland, CA; Eugene, OR: Maud-Gonne Press; Jackrabbit Press, 1975. Poster. 17.5x22 inch poster, very good, printed both sides. One side shows a raised hand with the slogan "Stop SB-1," followed by introductory text: "The Criminal Code Reform Act of 1973, otherwise known as SB-1, is probably the most repressive legislation to be put before Congress since the McCarthy era of the 1950s. Disguised as simply a long-overdue reform of federal criminal laws, it calls for re-instatement of the death penalty, abolishment of the insanity defense, unduly harsh sentencing and suppression of those forms of social action that have, until now, been covered by the Bill of Rights. And it's slipping through Congress under your nose." The other side breaks down the law's potential effects in arenas such as sabotage, leading a riot, marijuana, Watergate, the Smith Act, and more.
