ACLU takes up name change case  OKLAHOMA CITY-- While officials
say 99 percent of all name change requests are approved in
Oklahoma, one woman is fighting for her right to do just that.
Angela Ingram used to be known as James and has filed to have
her name legally changed.  However, a judge denied that name
change.  The American Civil Liberties Union is now taking up her
case.  Her attorneys claim that name changes are usually denied
because of a fraudulent purpose, but that was not the reason in
this case.   Brady Henderson says, "Fraud is only if someone is
attempting to evade creditors and thinks that a change of name
will do that. Or if someone has a warrant out for his or her
arrest and is trying to hide from law enforcement."  He said,
"We feel there is a larger issue to citizen rights. There is
always tension between those who want to take rights away or
expand the evasiveness of government and those who, in a sense,
ultimately want to make sure that our freedoms are protected."
