    5/ The government doesn’t have to answer a harsh email. But it can’t respond by rebranding criticism as a “threat” and dispatching federal agents. By pursuing David five months later, the government is leaving no doubt: they are targeting David for his protected speech.

    The Declaration of Independence intensified an already brewing revolution and launched an endeavor that continues today: the pursuit and preservation of liberty. The bedrock of our country wasn’t blood and soil, but ideas and ideals — especially the freedom to speak.

    Before the Declaration, Philadelphia was already known as the “Cradle of Liberty,” where Ben Franklin, Andrew Hamilton, and Thomas Paine helped define these rights. 250 years later, we continue that revolutionary tradition of defending free speech.
