Public Service Must Be More Than Doing

Freedom Unexercised May Be Freedom Forfeited. The Preservation Of Freedom Is In The Hands Of The People Themselves - Not Of The Government.

I Think That It Is High Time That We Remembered That We Have Sworn To Uphold And Defend The Constitution. I Think That It Is High Time That We Remembered That The Constitution, As Amended, Speaks Not Only Of The Freedom Of Speech But Also Of Trial By Jury Instead Of Trial By Accusation.

Those Of Us Who Shout The Loudest About Americanism, Are All Too Frequently Those Who . . . Ignore Some Of The Basic Principles Of Americanism-the Right To Criticize, The Right To Hold Unpopular Beliefs, The Right To Protest, The Right Of Independent Thought.

The American People Are Sick And Tired Of Being Afraid To Speak Their Minds Lest They Be Politically Smeared As 'communists' Or 'fascists' By Their Opponents. Freedom Of Speech Is Not What It Used To Be In America. It Has Been So Abused By Some That It Is Not Exercised By Others.

It Is Time That The Great Center Of Our People, Who Reject The Violence And Unreasonableness Of Both The Extreme Right And The Extreme Left, Searched Their Consciences, Mustered Their Moral And Physical Courage, Shed Their Intimidated Silence, And Declare Their Consciences.
