To all the supporters and lovers of the 1st. Amendment to the Constitution:

Our Christian forefathers risked life, wealth and limb to provide us with our fundamental, constitutional and sacred gurantee of freedom of speech. There is nothing more dear to son of liberty and freedom as the right to express our ideas uncensored by those who have hidden or contrary agendas. The reason why honest and free men have always supported freedom of speech is because no other liberty and right remains safe when free speech is abridged.
Saudi Arabia, Communist China, and Zionist Israel are perfect examples of governments organized on false religious and political ideals that cannot withstand dynamic and open discussion. These political and religious systems are controlled by a small elitist group that benefits by keeping their populations ignorant of truth through the abridegment of free and open discourse.

We may disagree on our political and religous views, but we are solidly united on each persons right to be heard.
The first weapon used against the tiny group following Jesus after his Resurrection was the forceful attempt to deprived them of open and free discussion about what they had seen and heard about Jesus.
After two thousand years the weapon of choice to silent truth is still the same--curtail the freedom of speech.
Those who attempt to abridge the right of free speech have no agrument but the argument of the bully and ignoramus---they simply attempt to force their opponent to silence.

Again, I would like to thank all who have expressed their support of freedom of speech.

Emile
