Freedom of Speech!!!!!
WORDS ~ WRITTEN ~ SPOKEN ~ SIGNED ~ TRANSMITTED VIA THE INTERNET! ~ PHOTOGRAPHED
"The test of democracy is freedom of criticism."
~David Ben-Gurion
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
~John F. Kennedy
"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all."
~Noam Chomsky
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
~Voltaire

Lovely photos and great text! It is such a shame that citizens are nowadays demonized by the politicians and the main street media when they do peaceful protests on how this country is being run. They conveniently forget that conservatives have a right to free speech too!
