Do you have a permit for that free speech?
Outside the post office in Ephrata today I waded into a debate with a city official who was telling a woman handing out anti-Obama literature that she needed a permit. I challenged him on the Constitutional authority of such a statement and addressed it’s conflict with the 1st amendment and our right to free speech. None of his answers made the law sound any less ridiculous.
Some may chastise me for taking on this debate. For being too excited or passionate. But liberty matters. It should always held up in front of us – I am a conversation starter. I want officials to know they are accountable. I want to help citizens become more aware of their liberty. I have recorded videos like this for some time and I won’t be silent as a Congressional candidate. Who better to take a stand for our liberty and the Constitution than the people’s representatives?
We need to hold every level of government accountable and if they will not be accountable, we the people are responsible to remove them. I’m running for Congress because we have government lawlessness in America. I can’t run for every office, but I can start conversations about liberty and if you send me to congress, I will keep the conversation going.
