“It is time that the American people — the farmers, the mechanics, cooks, servers, office workers, writers, journalists, white-collar, blue-collar and no-collar workers, executives and, most importantly, our elected officials — reread the Constitution; discuss it at home, at the workplace, at taverns, on TV specials, and bus stops.”

—Michael Haskins, writer and blogger, “Do You Know Your First Amendment Rights?” 2008.
