I have come to the conclusion that people’s freedom of speech is gone. From what I have seen, people have to be very careful of what they say and do. This is in relation to Sen. Michael Willette, R-Presque Isle, who made a comment on Facebook about President Obama and then had to apologize when Maine Democratic Party Chairman Phil Bartlett objected to the posting.

It has gotten so people can’t tell the truth about how they feel without someone criticizing.

I say, be honest with yourself. Tell it like it is. Say how you feel. Don’t be a follower.
