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

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.

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.
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.
