Free speech mean to you?

 

What does Free Speech mean to you?

According to the First Amendment written in 1791,it guarantees freedoms concerning Religion, Expression, Assembly, and the Right to Petition.

It also states; that it guarantees Freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. NOWHERE in this Amendment did I read, you don’t have a right to be heard or be heard.

I read an article that a local parent that had her first Amendment taken away and was not able to voice her concerns to the local city counsel. She was shut down after three min of speaking and was told to leave. As I was watching this video, I noticed a light that was turning different colors as a timer to those who are speaking to the counsel. I found this strange and begin to wonder how many other people’s voices have been shut down when this light goes from go to stop.

This parent was simply trying to have the city pay for speed bumps down her street, as her son was killed by a young man who decided to do a side show, hit her son, and dragging him under the car. Her son died from the wounds.

IS this really too much to ask for? I think not, but since the parent was shut down, the family has installed speed bumps them selves to slow down traffic, and prevent this from occurring again having another family lose a family member do to senseless people doing sideshows.  Which the city will take down as soon as they realize what the family has done, strange the city can pay someone to take them down, but not put them up.

Why do we need a city counsel when we have to take matters into our own hands? Isn’t their elected duty to support the citizens of their city?  How many people have to die before something is done to stop all of this? I know our local police department is stretched thin, and cannot respond to every call. But when is it ENOUGH? When do we say, “IVE had enough, and do something about all of this? When do we put our foot down and say “NO MORE” my time is not over stand our ground and let our voices be heard?

Weather in a peaceful protest or a city meeting, we can no longer sit back and do nothing, this city is being run by people who just don’t care, and we need to take action to take it back.
