As you explore the Voices for the First Web site, you will discover the First Amendment in a whole new way... how it really affects you and your rights! The First Amendment is a protector of American Freedom. Preserving freedom is dependant on your ability to understand, value, and embrace the First Amendment. 

The First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution is a mere 45 words, but without its protection, all of our individual liberties would be at risk. It's first because it guarantees our five fundamental freedoms - religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition. 

You have the right to believe what you want and express your own thoughts and feelings because of the First Amendment! Without the First Amendment, your right to dance, sing, hang at the mall with friends, vote, or publish your writings could all be at risk.

So get busy...
stay informed and know your responsibilities and rights!
