[Publib] 1st Amendment Rights

[Diedre Conkling]

The link contributed is a good one and gives more information on the issue.
 I hope that, as librarians, you are interested in finding out the facts and
more complete information and will click on the link.

As far as health care issues go, and other political issue, I find it
helpful to look at http://www.factcheck.org/ .  They seem to do a fair job
saying what is true, what is a bit of a stretch and what is false.

Enjoy.
