Lauren Book tried to silence her largest critic, and for a time, she succeeded, but the appeals court concluded what we knew all along-- saying mean things about someone is not stalking.
Derek Logue is a contributor to this blog so it is also a win for us. This would not be possible without a huge assist from Jamie Bemjamin's law firm and from Florida Action Committee.

Court Voids Stalking Injunction Involving Florida Senator Lauren Book
August 14, 2019 at 12:43 pm
FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami/AP) — An appeals court has overturned a stalking injunction placed on a man who disagrees with a state senator’s view on sex offenders.
The 4th District Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday that the injunction violated Derek Logue’s free speech rights and did not meet other Florida legal requirements.
The injunction barred Logue from several forms of contact with or proximity to Democratic state Sen. Lauren Book, a well-known supporter of strict offender laws involving child sexual abuse.
Logue had protested Book’s appearance at a children’s march in Tallahassee. He also criticized her publicly at a New York film festival and through social media and blog posts.
A lower court granted the injunction, but the appeals judges found Logue’s conduct fell short of the legal definitions necessary for one.
Below is the "Offensive" song that Book claims is about her.
By the way, Lauren, NO VOTES ABOUT US WITHOUT US!
