The resolution introduced in the Wisconsin State Legislature recognizes September 25, 2025, as First Amendment Day for all residents of Wisconsin. This date marks the anniversary of the proposal of the Bill of Rights by the U.S. Congress in 1789, with the First Amendment serving as a foundational element of American democracy. The resolution highlights the importance of the First Amendment, which protects freedoms concerning religion, speech, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government. It emphasizes the historical significance of these rights in enabling citizens to express grievances and advocate for social progress through various movements, including the Abolitionist, Civil Rights, and Women's Suffrage movements.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the evolving landscape of free expression in the digital age, where social media has expanded the public's ability to communicate and share ideas. It also recognizes the role of artistic expression—through music, film, literature, and comedy—as protected under the First Amendment. The resolution concludes by honoring the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families in defense of these fundamental rights, reinforcing the notion that free speech is essential for a thriving democracy.
