The First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech. But it should be noted that if you threatened the politician, that is not protected under the constitution-- that is considered "fighting words." However, if you simply voiced your opinion, without threats of violence and without harassing the politician, you are entitled to First Amendment protection.
