Everyone who is critical of Israeli policy is deluged by crazed messages intended to flood their email system or, more insidiously, passwords are accessed and messages sent out under their name! I'm sure it's illegal. It's also an effort to undermine free speech.

Free speech has been used by the Supreme Court to give immense power to the wealthiest members of our society.

In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.

Free speech is not a bogus issue. It is an issue.

Freedom of speech as I define it is more than a right granted by government. It's a process that each of us must believe in and fight for. You cannot have free speech in a world where everyone wants to deplatform you, destroy you, discard you, or distort you for what you say. Freedom of speech only works to the extent that people embrace it. The "right" alone is meaningless.

Free speech includes the right to not speak.
