Question
hello mike I tried you earlier and got good results so here go's. who was mary ingalls and what happened to her.  

Answer
Hi Clarence,

I'm assuming you are talking about the sister of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the author of the "Little House" Series that was also made into a TV show in the 1970's.

Mary was the older sister who went blind.  She went to a blind school in Iowa then returned to live with her parents and later with her sister Carrie.  She died of a stroke in 1928.

Expertise

I will answer general questions regarding freedom of speech, petition, or religion. I specialize in cases involving public employment or education, as well as issues related to campaign finance. But I can`t give specific legal advice involving specific cases you might have.

Experience

As an attorney for the Center for Individual Rights, I worked on a number of free speech cases, including Rosenberger v. Univ. of Virginia, in which the Supreme Court upheld my clients' right to run a student newspaper without discrimination because of its religious conent. I also worked on White v. Julian, which protected the right of people to protest against a homeless shelter in their neighborhood.

I also worked for the Federal Election Commission on several cases regarding the right to participate in the election process.
