Because our Progressives "friends" have brainwashed much of the population to believe the Constitution says things it does not, it behooves us all to look closely at what the first amendment actually says;
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
  Notice that it is NOT written for American citizens. It is SOLELY written TO PREVENT Congress from writing or enacting laws that restrict religious freedom, a persons right to free speech, interfere with the free press or stifle peaceful assembly to protest  the actions of our government.
 Since Congress, which is the only branch of government allowed under the Constitution to create laws, is forbidden to make ANY law that restricts free speech or religious freedom, no other branch of government has no authority to restrict any of the freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution and Bill Of Rights.
  Those in power, in all three branches of government, need to be informed that "We The People" will not be silenced and We demand that they 'Stand Down' from silencing those who oppose their agenda. The use of the IRS to intimidate conservative political action groups is a violation of their Constitutional rights and those responsible must be prosecuted. We must demand that John Boehner appoint a Select Committee in Congress to investigate the IRS and the NSA for abuse of power.
