Online Internet Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Speech in Expression, and Freedom of the Press are the foundation of a free society: To support the right of free expression of unpopular and repressed content is to assure the security of a free society; To ignore the repression of unpopular and repressed messages and to fail to work for its protection assures the eventual destruction of a free society and the Liberty which nourishes and preserves it. We believe that Internet Free Speech is the forward edge of the battle area in preserving Liberty in American Society. As Benjamin Franklin noted during the generation of the Founders, those that would sacrifice essential Liberty for temporary security deserve neither Liberty nor security.
