California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Gerawan Farming, Inc. v. Agric. Labor Relations Bd., 23 Cal.App.5th 1129, 234 Cal.Rptr.3d 88 (Cal. App. 2018):

⁸⁸ The right to petition is closely related to other First Amendment rights. "The right to petition allows citizens to express their ideas, hopes, and concerns to their government and their elected representatives, whereas the right to speak fosters the public exchange of ideas that is integral to deliberative democracy as well as to the whole realm of ideas and human affairs." (Borough of Duryea v. Guarnieri (2011) 564 U.S. 379, 388, 131 S.Ct. 2488, 180 L.Ed.2d 408.)
