Quote from Robert M. Lafollette, Sr.,


"The principle of free speech is no new doctrine
born of the Constitution of the United States.
It is a heritage of English-speaking peoples,
which has been won by incalculable sacrifice,
and which they must preserve
so long as they hope to live as free men."
