From Norman Rockwell, entitled "Freedom of Speech". Look at it closely. Is he a Republican? a Democrat? No ! That doesn't matter. What does matter immensely is he is an American, exercising a right granted by our Constitution. Fie on any so-called "leader" who would bash him for his work clothes, the 50'ish audience, or the circulars that brought these people together. He, a man in himself, not money, not political power, not refined good looks, is a powerful symbol of America's strength. To require him to be in suit and tie before speaking is to deny the principles on which this country was founded, and hopefully will continue to be based.
