The House committee rewrote the language to read, “The freedom of speech and of the press,
and the right of the people peaceably to assemble and consult for their common
good, and to apply to the Government for redress of grievances, shall not be
infringed.”
Then the Senate amended these words to say, “
“That Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the
press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and consult for their
common good, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Subsequently,
the religion clauses and these clauses were combined by the Senate.
Every person,
free man or author, has an undoubted right to express his or her own sentiments
as their own point of view before the public. The Constitution forbids the restriction
of such rights and allows the press the freedom to publish whatever they may
feel is proper but not without consequences if the expression is improper, mischievous
or illegal.
This First
Amendment right does not expose your opinion, writings or publishes to the
control of the prejudices of one man that could make him arbitrarily biased and
an infallible judge of all controverted point in learning, religion, and
government.
Thus the rights
and will of any individual is still left free. Government shall not pass laws
that ban, restrict, or censor act of this freedom to express thought or inquire,
leaving such liberty of private sentiment intact and allowable within the realm
of existing laws written. Perhaps I have become a libertarian for the freedom
of speech and press.
Perhaps I have
taken offense to attacks and counter attacks of political discourse with my
writings as I feel they may be intended to prosecute me for my thoughts, ideas
or experience. It is with much resentment I see political opponents do
something that departed from the spirit of our Constitution and that is
unacceptable.
My words,
writings and speeches are not designed to falsely shout any threats or false
promises. It is not used to cause threat, harm or written in such a nature as
to create a clear and present danger to anyone or any system. It is merely an
expression of my views, political pandering or dissent in matters I have chosen
to write about upholding that the suppression of speech that offers no threat
or danger is allowed under our Bill of Rights.
My First
amendment protects me for expressed speech, press, and religion and commits law
to protect me from uninhibited criticism, caustic or unpleasant attacks on
government management styles and public officials and prohibits the state to
forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or law unless these words are
found to be inciting and likely result in producing lawless actions.
