To the Mainstream Media

[nadinbrzezinski]

While you help build the current meme that OWS should not be allowed to peacefully assemble to petition the government, I'd like you to read this little piece of antiquated writing....

"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."

Now I'd like you to re-read this... "or abridging the freedom of speech, OR THE PRESS." Now why would I be nasty enough and bring this about? As the rights of the people to peaceably assemble are under attack, so are press rights. Reporters, most likely not working for the corporate media apparatus, have already been arrested at OWS events. How long do you think until YOU, the most compliant of "press" people, are also under attack?

It is a thing to consider, as you push that meme... because tomorrow it might be you.

Nadin, who at times does indeed play reporter and is aware that my rights to COVER these protests, are just as much in risk as those of the protesters to well, assemble and petition their government.
