These rights include your First Amendment rights – freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.” The Heretical Two were jailed for their web site, a web site originating in the United States of America. “It is easy to defend freedom of speech when the message is something people find reasonable. The defense of freedom of speech is most critical when the message is one most people reject.” – from Why did the ACLU represent NAMBLA? Are you a member of the ACLU?
