Senate Democrats Vote to Change 1st Amendment!

The First Amendment is one of the pillars of our great republic.

Without the right to speak freely, publicly assemble, and practice religion, the United States simply wouldn’t exist.  Without this right, the United States would be completely different.

In recent years, the Supreme Court has slapped down campaign finance laws and Federal Elections Commission regulations because they place an undue burden on individuals’ first amendment rights. 

The first amendment doesn’t just protect your right to stand on a soapbox.   Free “speech” protects more than just your right to open your mouth and talk. “Speech” includes a number of different mechanisms and mediums to express individual beliefs and opinions. 

The Democrats absolutely hate your first amendment rights.  How else do you explain the fact that on this past Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-8 to approve S.J. Res. 19, the “Money Out/Voters In” amendment?  This resolution would radically redefine the first amendment and alter our constitution! 

That’s right; the Democrats in the Judiciary Committee approved an amendment to the constitution that would exclude speech that costs money from the constitution’s protections.  This amendment would even give Congress the authority to ban books.  You didn’t see this on any of the news stations, but we are now one vote away from completely losing the first amendment to the Constitution! 

This proposed amendment will now go to the floor for a vote.  With forty-five co-sponsors, it is dangerously close to becoming a part of our constitution. 

The Obama administration is on a crusade to silence the conservative movement.  First, Obama’s IRS targeted Conservative non-profit groups to stop them from participating in the election.  Now, Democrats in the Senate are trying to get rid of your first amendment rights! 

This isn’t a joke!  The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the proposed amendment and now the FULL SENATE is going to vote on whether to absolutely gut the first amendment. 

Whether it is Diane Feinstein trying to pick and choose which “qualified journalists” are afforded constitutional protections or now the Senate Judiciary committee trying to restrict free speech, the war over the first amendment has come to your doorstep! 

Democrats will incrementally eliminate our rights little by little until they have what they want.  And it is now obvious that a dictatorship is what they want.  If you believe you would be content living in a dictatorship, then just ignore this email and go back to watching reruns of pawn stars or whatever.  

On the other hand, if you would like to keep what freedoms you still have, I suggest you call, fax, or email your senators and congressman and express your opinion.
