First on the First - post the First Amendment on the first day of every month! [View all]

First on the First
January 8 at 1:09am ·

A four year campaign to celebrate the First Amendment by posting it on every page in every platform: FB, Instagram, Twitter. No preaching or editorializing, we simply remind ourselves, and those in power, what we are meant to be as a country and a diverse people. The goal is to create a tradition of celebrating the First Amendment on the first of every month.

No matter which side of the political aisle one stands, every citizen should be able to agree on the importance of our most fundamental rights as outlined in our constitution

Please join us in creating a new tradition each month on the first of the month, just post the 45 words of text and SHARE.

Follow us at https://www.facebook.com/thefirstonthefirst/
and tag on Twitter using #FirstontheFirst

Or just post the text of the First Amendment:

Amendment I
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.
