Free speech may be our most important right, and it’s worth fighting for. That’s why THE FOUNDATION TO DEFEND THE FIRST AMENDMENT, or FDFA, has put together this informational booklet containing excerpts from articles and commentaries published in American Free Press—the strongest media voice for free thought in America today. By reading this booklet and requesting information from FDFA, you are learning about the threats to the First Amendment and supporting free speech advocates. And when you donate to FDFA, you can be sure that your contribution is going to a vital cause.

We are happy to report that Americans’ constitutional right to free thought and unregulated speech is, while under attack on numerous fronts, alive today. But it is in trouble.

Americans are right now being jailed for speaking openly about a wide range of controversial subjects. Some people have even been arrested and sent to foreign countries to stand trial for talking about things that are not even crimes in the United States.

Without robust debate of the most controversial issues, the protection afforded all Americans would be lost.

Remember: You don’t have to agree with what others believe. You just have to stand up for their right to say it. And you will find that fellow Americans will stand up for your rights in your time of need as well.

Help FDFA defend the Constitution. FDFA supports and publicizes groups and individuals who are boldly standing up for the First Amendment in America today. They need our help.

America needs you now more than ever.
