Free Speech
Here are the words of Benjamin Franklin regarding his thoughts on free speech:
"Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom, and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech, which is the right of every man as far as by it he does not hurt or control the right of another; and this is the only check it ought suffer, and the only bounds it ought to know. This sacred privilege is so essential to free governments that the security of property and the freedom of speech always go together; and in those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call anything else his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech...
The administration of government is nothing else but the attendance of the trustees of the people upon the interest and affairs of the people; and as it is the part and sake alone all public matters are ought to be transacted, so be the ambition of all honest magistrates to have their deeds openly examined and publicly scanned. Only the wicked governors of men dread what is said of them."
Why the Concerns? This is America!
Pay attention Americans! Your free speech is under attack from this administration and now the United Nations! The FCC has "regulated" Net Neutrality so they can control the content of the Internet news. Now the United Nations is also making a play to control the Internet. They must all be stopped or freedom will be dead. Speak now or forevermore hold your peace. Defend your God given rights or loose them to posterity!
