The right to criticize; The right to hold unpopular beliefs;
The right to protest; The right of independent thought.
The exercise of these rights should not cost one single American
citizen his reputation or his right to a livelihood, nor should he be
in danger of losing his reputation or livelihood merely because he
happens to know someone who holds unpopular
beliefs. Margaret Chase Smith
