Support Free Speech

Do your part and read one article a day over at http://www.wikileaks.org/

I’m tired of my government trying to restrict our first amendment rights: freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and its attempts to censor us. If Wikileaks goes down, I’ll be one of the first to hop on the Chinatown bus for $15 and march on Washington with pitchforks and burning torches and screams of rage and tear down the institution brick by brick. I’m nearly blind with fury over how many of our Constitutional freedoms are getting chipped away, day after day, how the government doesn’t even give the PRETENSE of being of the people, by the people, and for the people anymore. The new FCC rules allowing internet providers, now labeled a UTILITY by the FCC ITSELF, to censor content! This is a DIRECT violation of people’s First Amendment rights! So why aren’t you screaming mad? It’s the same as if the telephone companies bleeped out your conversation everytime you swore or spoke about a competing telephone service. The world relies on the ability to communicate via the internet as much as we rely on the ability to communicate via our phones. The FCC even THINKING of allowing internet providers to censor this utility ….

It makes me sick to my stomach. And less and less am I able to restrain my anger through writing and talking it out. A government can only push its people so much, and a people USED to their freedoms … American’s aren’t soft. We just haven’t been pushed far enough yet. And I’ll fucking FIGHT if my Freedom of Speech gets taken away or anybody else’s.

Fuck you FCC and Congress. Some of us are willing to die for our freedoms! So don’t fucking push it.
