"The Danish editor behind publication of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that ignited deadly riots in the Muslim world said Wednesday he's willing to publish cartoons on the Holocaust from Iran.
"My newspaper is trying to establish a contact with the Iranian newspaper, and we would run the cartoons the same day as they publish them," Flemming Rose of the newspaper Jyllands-Posten said Wednesday in an interview on CNN's American Morning."
Hell yeah.

2) Join/support a larger organization that supports the things you support. In the free speech realm we have:
http://www.eff.org/
http://www.aclu.org/
I'm sure there are others, those are just the first two I can think of.
3) Lastly - use you freedom. Speak out about the topic, make your voice heard. Not just online in a LJ or Myspace journal, but talk to your family, your friends, your coworkers and neighbors. Change only comes from an educated population.
