It is now illegal in Arizona to use the name or likeness of a dead soldier in any commercial application.Those are the terms of a bill that Gov. Janet Napolitano signed into law today. Senate Bill 1014 was nicknamed the "dead soldier" bill and was inspired in part by a Flagstaff t-shirt maker who displays the names of the war dead as the background for a shirt that says "Bush Lied, They Died."The names, although in tiny type, offended some family members of the dead, who have started campaigns nationwide to ban unauthorized use of a fallen soldier's name. Bans already exist in Oklahoma and Louisiana. It is punishable by a Class 1 misdemeanor, which can carry up to a $2,500 fine or six months in jail.
It's time to make money NOW!
