Freedom of Speech

I am a proud member of The McCain-Feingold Insurrection.

From the site:

The First Amendment says this:
—————
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.
—————

And that’s precisely what it means.

Accordingly, I believe we can all get behind these following points:

1. Freedom of speech and the press is of critical importance to the preservation of both individual freedom, and the free character of our nation.

2. It is a traditional American Liberty that we guard jealously.

3. This Freedom is directly and unambiguously protected by the Bill of Rights.

4. Our Blogs are the way we choose to directly manifest that freedom. They are our sacred 21st century soapboxes, and we view them as being completely protected.

5. The Infrastructure that enables blogs is the instrumentality of that freedom, and is therefore also protected.

6. The universal criticality of this transcends partisan consideration.

7. Therefore, We, the proud members of the McCain-Feingold Insurrection, will continue to excercise our right of free speech through our online venues as we see fit, without limitation.

8. We shall vigorously defend our right and ability to do so going to such lengths and using such means as the situation and our individual consciences dictate.

Got it, you stinking political weasels?
