[Publib] 1st Amendment Rights

[Lisa Guidarini]

How did people research this stuff pre-internet, that's what I want to
know! It's wonderful how we can point to this and that website and have
it all at our fingertips.

I appreciate the fire behind all the messages today. It shows passion,
and that we care. We'll never all agree, and that's not a bad thing. We
have a two-party system for a reason. Those founding fathers were pretty
darn smart with the checks and balances.

In a decade we can look back and know what all this was about. Too bad
we can't see into the future.

I would suggest that everyone also read the info at 
http://tinyurl.com/ly6bzk which compares what is said by the Prez versus

what others around him are saying.....not the same words so they must be

on two different pages.

As a last resort to get to the truth of what "America's Affordable 
Health Choices Act of 2009" (H.R. 3200) really will do, read the text at

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:H.R.3200: 

And regarding 1st Amendment infringement, read the item at 
http://tinyurl.com/nynzzq .

Enjoy!!
