The Very First Condition Of

I Cannot Agree With Those Who Think Of The Bill Of Rights As An 18th Century Straitjacket, Unsuited For This Age...the Evils It Guards Against Are Not Only Old, They Are With Us Now, They Exist Today.

A Union Of Government And Religion Tends To Destroy Government And To Degrade Religion.

The "establishment Of Religion" Clause Of The First Amendment Means At Least This: Neither A State Nor The Federal Government Can Set Up A Church. Neither Can Pass Laws Which Aid One Religion, Aid All Religions, Or Prefer One Religion Over Another. Neither Can Force Nor Influence A Person To Go To Or To Remain Away From Church Against His Will Or Force Him To Profess A Belief Or Disbelief In Any Religion.

The Press Was Protected So That It Could Bare The Secrets Of The Government And Inform The People. Only A Free And Unrestrained Press Can Effectively Expose Deception In Government. And Paramount Among The Responsibilities Of A Free Press Is The Duty To Prevent Any Part Of The Government From Deceiving The People.

The Interest Of The People Lies In Being Able To Join Organizations, Advocate Causes, And Make Political "mistakes" Without Being Subjected To Governmental Penalties.
