This Amendment is being tried already after just a few weeks    into a new administration:  <\/p>\n<p>         Four journalists jailed while reporting on the demonstrations    in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 1. They will be charged with    felonies for showing America what was going on after the    inauguration.  <\/p>\n<p>         Steve Bannon, senior advisor to the President, tells America    to ignore journalists and the news. Does this mean we are to    listen to the AltTruth coming out of the Press Room, early    morning tweets and Conway instead of what photographs show of    the sparse crowds on Jan. 20? On Nov. 12, 2013, at a book    signing in D.C., Steve Bannon said the following when asked    what his political philosophy was: Lenin wanted to destroy the    state, and thats my goal too. I want to bring everything    crashing down, and destroy all of todays establishment.  <\/p>\n<p>        It looks like hes well on his way to doing just that.  <\/p>\n<p>         The news channel watched by the president for news is FOX    (Faux) News. This source of information has been proven to be    accurate only 40 percent of the time. This is his source while    he calls CNN a source of fake news. Again, photographs shown on    this station that were taken at 12:01 by a Routers    photographer from the Washington Monument and shown on CNN    dont lie.  <\/p>\n<p>         Instead of focusing on the issues confronting our country,    tweets and speeches about the election being rigged  that he    would have won by 45 million votes if it werent for fraud. He    defined fraud as being registered to vote more than once.    Perhaps he forgot to check with his daughters, Ivanka and    Tiffany, his son-in-law, who is another senior advisor or    senior advisor Bannon  all of whom are registered in two    different states, thus meeting the presidents definition of    voter fraud.  <\/p>\n<p>         An Executive Order banning entry of people from six countries    even if they have valid green cards based on religion is    against a law passed by Congress 50 years ago. Where is the    legal counsel to advise when Executive Orders break the law and    cause chaos at airports here and around the world? And why were    Congressmen denied access to those detained at Dulles airport    after a Federal Court intervened Saturday?  <\/p>\n<p>        Kelly Conway dissed the judge since he was an Obama appointee     is the Oval Office and its unelected spokespeople saying the    president can choose what judicial decisions they will uphold?  <\/p>\n<p>        One last note: Trumps approval rating after just 8 days in    office was a 51 percent disapproval rating according to Gallup.    In Gallups history, no president has had a disapproval rating    like this in such a short period of time. By the same pollster    using the same methodology, it took Reagan 727 days to reach a    disapproval rating under 50 percent, Bush I took 1,336 days,    Bush II 1,205 days.  <\/p>\n<p>        If you havent read George Orwells 1984 this might be a good    time to read it (or re-read it if you havent in a few years).    It may just move you to action.  <\/p>\n<p>        Have a great day ...  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Follow this link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gridleyherald.com\/article\/20170208\/OPINION\/170209678\" title=\"Letter to the Editor: What's the future of the First Amendment? - Gridley Herald\">Letter to the Editor: What's the future of the First Amendment? - Gridley Herald<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The First Amendment says, 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.
