One of the first moves of a one-party state is to make 
information less available. The people of the state of Florida 
rose up when Jeb Bush tried to dismantle our state library in 
Jnaury 2003. Legislators did not go along. However, since 
then some dissenting librarians have been fired and the Bush 
appointees are closing access to the collection to the public. 
A less obvious, but likely more effective strategy is to make 
sure things don't get into libraries in the first place. ERIC 
clearinghouses have been full of documents that ask hard 
questions.
