The American courts ruled that money is speech and speech can't be limited in politics because of freedom of expression. We don't have that same sort of aggressive notion of freedom of speech.

Yes, I think it's a freedom of expression issue. My feeling is the best way to counter bad speech is with more speech.

Therefore, the proclamation has no effect on the Bill of Rights -- specifically the freedom of speech, of expression or of the press and the right of the people to peaceful assembly and to petition the government for redress and grievances.

I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.

I believe in freedom of speech and in artistic freedom, ... I also believe in the expression of someone's truth. I never thought we would have to justify shows like 'Gypsy' and 'Grease.'

It's not about freedom of speech because we retain free speech. It's about ending corrupt politics.
