About the Melon Farmers?

The Melon Farmers is an anti-censorship campaigning website

It is not a traditional campaign or political organisation. There are no members, no subscriptions and no constitutions. Just a bunch of good people who contribute news, information and opinion.

The objectives and aims of the Melon Farmers are simply an aggregation of the many that contribute. Somehow news, information and opinion can make for a very effective campaign.
