Bill of Rights Day is Dec. 15 ... today. It's a good time to sit back and reflect that the Bill of Rights is the document that protects our freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, our right to bear arms, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment -- among other things. The U.S. Constitution was in jeapordy of not being ratified because it didn't protect basic rights adequately. The Bill of Rights was introduced by James Madison and championed by Thomas Jefferson. So please, PLEASE, don't let lesser statesfolks mess with your fundamental rights ... the Bill of Rights ... without you taking a huge part in it. I am a big fan of that First Amendment. I know that there are many folks that are very very concerned with the Second Amendment. Whichever is the Amendment that you are concerned with, make sure that whoever is going to mess with it does so with the utmost care. I happen to think that the Bush Administration fell far short in this regard.
thankyouverymuch,
