Janelle's Response

I don't think I would ever give up my civil liberties. Even though I don't always voice my opinions outloud, if there ever came a time that I believed in something so strongly, I would want to be able to express it to others. I think that being able to express ourselves is the best thing about living in the United States. If I didn't have my civil liberties I wouldn't be able to follow my religion, or I wouldn't be able to say what I feel about the president or the war without being punished. Our civil liberties are something that are given to us and I would never give mine up. Even though I don't express my opinions openly, I like having the option to do so, and I wouldn't give up my civil liberties.
