First for a reason
Protesters gathered at the Sample Gates the day after elections in Iraq; many against the war and others for it. The words weren't pretty or pleasant, but no one got hurt. The First Amendment of the Constitution gives citizens an avenue to disagree peacefully. In the United States we can speak our minds without fear of being silenced by the government or our fellow citizens. Elections have taken place overseas in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Ukraine, and more people have a voice. Every person has something to say, but not every government allows its people to speak. In the United States, we can speak against our government or each other, a freedom that would not exist without the Constitution's First Amendment. We must guard that right vigilantly.
