Free Speech Wall held outside Old Main By Madison Baer | Collegian Staff Writer collegian.psu.edu

The Young Americans for Liberty held a Free Speech Wall at Old Main this afternoon to celebrate the 226th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution.

The Young Americans for Liberty are a national political organization that has chapters all across the country including one at Penn State. They stand by the principle of liberty and contain members from both ends of the political spectrum.

We are passing out free pocket Constitutions, and information about our organization here at Penn State, Jonathan Brandonisio (senior - psychology) said. We are also providing the Free Speech Wall for students to come and participate in recognizing the significance of Constitution Day.

The Free Speech Wall stood for all those passing by on campus with the question How much power should the government have?

Students were invited to come and write their responses in Sharpie to the question or any other thoughts they had on the wall. The responses from the students on campus varied from all lengths and views.

Penn State University Relations could not be initially reached for comment about the event.
