Our 1st Admendment Rights

This is scary folks. It does not matter what your political party of choice may be, but the fact is our right to free speech is being infringed by those in power on what almost seems like a daily basis.

Folks take this serious. Here is a video Senator John Kerry trying to answer a question by a college student in Florida, and was tasered for it. I will say the Senator seemed more than willing to answer the question. I do not believe he was the cause of this, but as you can see the police moved in immediately after the student asked the question.



I will tell you as a photographer that has photographed many of these events college students are always the ones asking the hardest hitting questions. They will ask these sort of things to Republicans and Democrats. Watching these types of events are a great place to get to see what a politician really feel on a issue.

That said. This is completely unacceptable. This type of police action is tyranny plain and simple. As Americans we owe it to all of those who sacrificed everything, while protecting our basic right to speak out, to stand up against this type of blatant disregard for the law.

As you can see the police committed a federal crime by infringing on this student's 1st Amendment right granted to him by the United States Constitution. Don't let this stand. Write your Congressmen and Senators, and demand a federal investigation into this matter.
