The First Amendment

What the first amendment means to me is that I am simply free to be an open-minded individual and express myself in any mannor that does not bring harm to others.

This video is about the issue of weather there should be a Mosque built near ground zero, and clearly since there is an issue we are going against our rights and basic freedoms that our soilders fight to protect.

I feel that this video and song is a perfect example of freedom of speech. They are clearly expressing their disapproval towards our government, and the first amendment allows them to do so!

we the people
