One of the Ways the 1st Amendment Gets Attacked?

The president-elect’s new press secretary, Sean Spicer, has begun the process of diminishing the truth about the 1st Amendment. By falsely defining the “actual” 1st Amendment and the president-elect’s support of the amendment, Mr Spicer lets us know that truth is an optional element of his job. Again, these are the small seemingly minor attacks on the freedoms of the constitution –

“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.” [Emphasis mine]

I am encouraging you to stay alert and challenge conversations that degrade or disparage free speech/press. The continual false attacks and FAKE news will cause people to doubt everything in the media. A demagogue can then lead us by the nose anywhere they would like! Truth and freedom are the only weapons that we need. Keep them sharp and available!
