Freedom of speech/thoughts

Sadly, in this day and age, it takes monumental courage to address the many controversial actions taken by the current administration led by second term (although not consecutive) President Donald Trump, so I strongly applaud David Hohendorf’s decision to valiantly express his thoughts on the publisher’s page of the April edition.

I wonder how many Birmingham/Bloomfield readers will take the time to contact you regarding the editorial. Let us hope, no matter what their political persuasion, their comments are respectfully made.

What has made our country great is the freedom of speech (thought) guaranteed by the 1st Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.

This is certainly no time to allow “fear of reprisal” to stop anyone of us from “taking a stand.”
