If the press is not free; if speech is not independent and untrammeled; if the mind is shackled or made impotent through fear, it makes no difference under what form of government you live, you are a subject and not a citizen.” ~ William E. Borah (1865-1940) U.S. Senator (R-ID)Source: Remarks to the Senate, 19 April 1917
