Amy Goodman Arrest
"Freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty and can never be restrained but by despotic governments."
-- George Mason, 1776
"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."
-- Thomas Jefferson, 1787
