Judges are jailing reporters with increasing frequency,
because they refuse to reveal news sources. The result can
only be a drying up of these sources of information and
impede your right to know what's happening in your
government.
Your free speech depends on a free press.
The First Amendment to our Constitution, which is your
suppress information, says in part, "Congress shall pass
no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press."
From this you see that free speech and a free press are
guaranteed the people generally — not to any individual
or business. Consequently, when our freedom of the press
is restricted, your free speech is restricted too. This also
applies to everyone's right to know what's being offered
in the Marketplace. The right of choice in all goods and
services keeps the system of competition working for every-
one's progress.
Keep this in mind the next time you get mad at a news
story. Remember, a free press provides you with the infor-
mation that keeps our country free.
