I looked through one of my email boxes to find the link to that survey, but
couldn't find it. It was published recently in one of the magazines for
federal workers. If somebody does some digging into relevant publications
(Fed News?), you should be able to find the survey.

"The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away.
You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you
assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which
you resist is the degree to which you are free..."
