Vote Yes on the Freedon to Read Act
To: Rep. Slotkin
From: A constituent in Howell, MI
November 26
I urge you to support The Freedom to Read Act currently under consideration in the Michigan House. This legislation aims to protect the rights of communities to access information and make informed decisions about library materials. By establishing clear guidelines and limiting removals to only legally obscene materials, it prevents undue censorship based on individual objections. Libraries are vital institutions that should uphold intellectual freedom and provide diverse perspectives. The Freedom to Read Act strikes a reasonable balance by allowing for community input while safeguarding against unjustified book bans that undermine education and free expression. Access to information is a cornerstone of democracy. Please vote in favor of this bill to preserve these essential values for all Michigan residents.
