### Post (1,300–2,000 chars for maximum reach)

> An endorsement, on the record.
>
> Today [organization] is joining Restore the First — a citizens' coalition for the First Amendment organized around the six named plaintiffs in *Finn v. Global Engagement Center*, dismissed on procedural grounds in July 2026 without ever ruling on the evidence.
>
> Six Americans were designated in a private 2021 report as the "Disinformation Dozen." The White House pressured Facebook, in writing, to act. Facebook reduced those accounts' distribution by sixty percent. In 2026 a federal judge dismissed the resulting First Amendment lawsuit because the complaint had too many defendants. That is not a ruling on the merits. That is unfinished business.
>
> I'm endorsing Restore the First because [pillar reason, one sentence, in your voice as a professional in your field].
>
> [Optional: one paragraph on why this specifically matters for your industry — healthcare, law, media, academia, technology, agriculture, faith. Concrete stakes for the reader, not abstract ideals.]
>
> The coalition is asking Congress for three things:
>
> 1. Preserve the records before they are lost.
> 2. Hold public hearings where the six named plaintiffs testify under oath.
> 3. Create a private right of action for any American penalized by government-directed platform pressure.
>
> The plaintiffs' statement, the full documentary record, and the coalition's policy blueprint — including the newly added sixth pillar on Speech Infrastructure — are at restorethe1st.com.
>
> If you are in a position to endorse from your organization, the coalition welcomes you. If you are an individual, the fastest thing you can do today is sign the petition and share your own story of being suppressed.
>
> Restore the First. Because the layer that composes what we say next has to be built on First Amendment principles, or it will be built on something else.
