Senators Angus King (I-Maine) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) share their thoughts on the importance of the First Amendment in advancing democracy.
“[The First Amendment] enabled us to remain a free people, it enables us to engage in the rigorous debate that we have in this country, and to communicate with one another freely.”
– Senator Angus King
“Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of all other freedoms.”
– Senator Susan Collins
