I believe in the First Amendment (freedom of speech) very strongly ... and there's no reason to quit now, ... All the support has been extremely amazing.

You know, everybody believes in free speech until you start questioning them about it.

And a democracy can't exist without free speech and the right to assemble. And that's what Americans tend to forget. And they're born into a culture where they take all of their freedoms for granted.

My freedom of speech rights are very clear.

This is very much a freedom of speech and freedom of information issue.

Laws protecting the United States flag do not cut away at the freedom of speech guaranteed in the First Amendment. . .Congress made this position clear upon passage of the Flag Protection Act of 1989, which prohibited desecration of the flag.
