he believed in free speech and standing up for what he believed in
Ms. Sue
Most of our government leaders would agree with Voltaire's views on those subjects -- George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Joe Lieberman, etc.
However, you might want to look more closely at Voltaire's ideas to see if any of the above disagree with any of them.

i thought of some of those - i was just trying to think of someone else besides political figures
Ms. Sue
You could think about journalists, clergymen and clergywomen, teachers, community organizers, lawyers, and judges. Almost all Americans believe in free speech and standing up for what they believe in. You could even choose people you personally know.
