Save the 1st Amendment!

Here's a project for those with too much time on their hands...

SUPPLIES:
1 Roll of Duct Tape (preferably the super adhesive kind--none of that cheap stuff)
1 Staple Gun
1 Box of Staples for Staple Gun
20' Chain Link Fence
4 Metal poles
1 Taser

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Take the roll of duct tape and tape over your mouth. Keep taping around your head, making multiple loops so that mouth is covered by more than one layer of duct tape.
- Take staple gun and load in staples. Staple lips together. This might hurt.
- Drive the 4 metal poles into the ground in a square, each pole approx. 5 feet away from each other.
- Wrap chain link fence around the metal poles. Make sure you are inside the square. You want to be caged inside.
- Last, taser yourself multiple times for being stupid enough to follow these instructions.


Folks, allowing members of Congress to pass the 'Fairness Doctrine' reaches the same level of ignorance as the instructions above. It's a clear violation of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.

Free speech isn't designed to protect the things with which we agree, it protects those with which we don't. So long as it doesn't insight violence, Americans have the right to say what they want, be critical of who they want, and inspire others to believe the same. It's the reason why Rush Limbaugh can say he wants Obama to fail, even though it's crass; it's the reason why Janeane Garofalo can spout word vomit about Republicans' limbic brains being genetically programed to be racist, even though it's ignorant, arrogant, and insulting; and it's the reason why bloggers can get on their computers and rant about the things they believe are wrong in this world.

So join Save the First Amendment, and make sure your voice will always be heard and protected!
