What the First Amendment Really Protects

The First Amendment was not written to protect popular speech. It was written to protect speech that was not popular. The moment we lose sight of that, we betray the principle of equal justice that lies at the heart of our system. We can hope the president and all who do the work of government have relearned that lesson in recent days, but we can’t count on that. The American people need to remain vigilant against any effort by the powerful to stifle speech — and do everything they can to prevent it.

I'm inviting all of you to attend this event - June 29-30, in Buckhannon, WV - which combines water quality and health concerns of both coal and gas extraction.
