The Free Speech Zone offers a space for contributions from readers, without editing by the TC Daily Planet. This is an open forum for articles that otherwise might not find a place for publication, including news articles, opinion columns, announcements and even a few press releases.

Transparency: We ask that you identify any connection or interest that you have in what you are writing about. For example, if you are employed by a political campaign and you are writing about a candidate, you should disclose that fact. If your article is a press release for an organization, please say so.
Tone and style: We hope your submissions will be constructive, accurate, and submitted in the spirit of contributing to civic dialogue. That is a guideline, but it is not a requirement for publication—the Free Speech Zone will not impose “politeness” standards. We encourage everyone to add a short bio at the end of your article.
The Free Speech Zone is a work-in-progress, which will be shaped by your contributions and participation.

The people would pay for the stock, but not get ownership!
