A court in Georgia has dismissed charges against Frederic Baumann who was arrested for passing out religious literature on public property.

“Christians have the same First Amendment rights as anyone else in America and cannot be treated as second-class citizens. The government should not force them to get special permission before practicing their constitutional right to free speech.  The fact that the court dismissed the charges against Mr. Baumann is not just significant for him but for all citizens who cherish their First Amendment rights.”

-  David Cortman, ADF Senior Legal Counsel
