First Amendment:My Point

There is a new challenge for our country, our newest war. On September 11, 2001 our country was attacked by terrorists. They hurt us, but didn't destroy us. That can only be done by our own hand.

The men who hijacked those planes that terrible morning did so with the blessings of their government. In a country where freedom of speech was not allowed, where freedom of expression was not tolerated, where the voice of the people was not heard, where criticism of the government meant death.

Let us remember, just what the First Amendment means to us.
