As I read more thoroughly into the issue of civil liberties, I become more and more discusted at my findings. Our country was "founded on the basis of including and protecting everyone's voice."

The United States Government now makes the use of so-called "Free Speech Zones" to restrict the peaceable assembly and petitioning of American citizens. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.warblogging.com/archives/000655.php"><P>Those who go to see the President speak, including the media, generally do not have an opportunity to see the protesters — they are kept safely out of the way, out of sight. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.warblogging.com/archives/000655.php"><P>This was not the way it was meant to be. In our system, where everyone has a voice, anyone should be able to protest within full view of the President and his supporters. They should be able to hold their signs up high, proclaiming for all who will listen what they consider to be right. Our country was not founded on the basis of excluding voices, it was founded on the basis of including and protecting everyone's voice.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6605FE0A-789D-47C0-BE5E-B1AC7512DB85/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
