Yes, you can contact VCDL, but they are extremely busy with other things at this point. It may help if you you or your pop initiate some kind of contact with Hopewell and indicate that the law states otherwise and that the judge has no authority to overstep the boundaries.
I still recommend contacting VCDL and, at least, make them aware and ask for advise, if you need to.
Always drop a note to VCDL. That way they can keep track of such things.
Remember that VCDL is a grass-roots organization, so if you contact them, don't expect them to do anything
for you, rather, ask them for advice on how to handle it yourself.
Most of these issues can be resolved by one person with perseverance and knowledge; only the harder ones require VCDL to take action as an organization.
It also gives you a feeling of satisfaction: you are the one defending freedom, getting results. And when it's all said and done, you have some experience under your belt that you can use in future situations, or to pass on to new activists.
In this case, armed with the text of the law and some pointers from VCDL on how to proceed, you may very well be able to squelch this on your own. If not, VCDL will back you. Get 'em!
