Free speech…a well known, and little commented on, portion of our foundation.         http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment01/      in these times, as much as I rail on the administration both current and former I admit I never felt as though I would see the tumultuous course plotted in today’s seas.  Not since the Alien and Sedition act of 1795 http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Alien.html  have we seen such an egregious affront on our freedoms that are paramount to our constitutional rights.  No matter your political leanings, whether right or left, maybe even somewhere in the middle, no real American (with an understanding of the constitution) can sit idle and watch as the as the White House labels any individual news organization as anything from seditious to unimportant, it reeks of an affront to our rights as citizens of this shining beacon on a hill.
