"I'm not willing to give up my First Amendment rights because in essence, it is what makes our country so great because even just taking freedom of speech, for example, there is no other country in the world that gives their citizens full freedom of speech. They can be punished by law, or thrown in jail, fined, just for expressing their opinion. It has been expressed that these are rights, not privileges, and nothing should be able to take those away."
- Colton Mills, junior Business and Accounting major
"If we don't have our rights, then we aren't truly free."
- Cooper Maahs, senior Digital Media major
"I feel like it's important for people to be able to keep a piece of themselves privately, obviously safely, not anything crazy, but instead of having to share everything with the world and having to share everything with everyone . . . I think it's important for everybody to be able to have a voice and say what they need to say."
- Jerzy Gillon, junior Vocal Performance major
"I can go to the store and buy a cupcake!"
- Colby Snyder, junior Computer Science major
"They are [the 1A rights] important to who I am as a person. And every American Citizen deserves the right to exercise the Constitutional rights."
- Parker Preul, junior History major
"Think of how much we use that every single day, from social media, to going out and just advertising things that we want, even to the small things like openly praying at night. Taking those away takes away the individuality of one's self, and that's not what this country was based upon."
- Matthew Marroquin, freshman English Language Arts Education major
