First amendment is gone: Journalists arrested

The First amendment is gone: Journalists were arrested at both the Republican and the Democratic National Conventions

http://targetfreedom.typepad.com/targetfreedom/2008/09/first-amendment-is-gone-journalists-arrested.html

Do you still think you live in a Constitutional Republic, allowing First amendment rights: free speech, freedom of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble???

The United States Constitution

Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

 

Tyranny is bi-partisan.

Journalist Producer Asa Eslocker was arrested outside the Brown Palace at the Democratic National Convention for taking pictures on public property:

You will notice that Journalist Producer Asa Eslocker was forced into the street by  police, AND THEN told that he is "impeding traffic". Police can be heard telling the others, who are filming, to "Shut it off". What happened to the pictures that Asa Eslocker was arrested for taking?

Naomi Wolf Celebrated Author of "The End of America"

See what Naomi Wolf said that it would mean when they started arresting journalists.

 

Freedom of speech - use it or lose it

When they took away the 4th Amendment,
we were quiet,
because we didn't deal drugs.

When they took away the 6th Amendment,
we were quiet,
because we were innocent.

When they took away the 2nd Amendment,
we were quiet,
because we don't own guns.

Now they have taking away the 1st Amendment,
and very soon,
if we continue to be quiet,
we will have no choice,
but to be continue to be quiet.

[Joseph E Fasciani]

Murrika: love it or leave it!

Who will the sheeple blame for their loss of the Republic? As Ben Franklin responded when asked what the Convention created, "We have given you a republic--if you can keep it!"

The Republic was doomed when the banks took over after the Civil War and initiated Wall St control of the country. Did no one ever wonder why corporatism was promoted over the co-operative movement, which is the people's control of their capital?

[Richard H. Clark]

Goodbye America.
A revolution is what we need.

But how do we do that without landing ourselves in an internment camp? How do we do that when our government is a mere pawn to the big players? Visit my site. I tell you how.

[Fanatik-J]

This is insane! We had better fight for the Bill Of Rights while we still can.

[hybrid rogue]

Yes...the time is at hand.
