Using our freedoms to save our country

Using our freedoms to save our country
Redress of grievancesEveryone knows that there are five freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution under amendment oneit states Congress shall make no law's 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.Free press means that the media can say what they want but this doesn't reach every individual because the media reports what they want doesn't have to turn what you or I say or do.Freedom of religion is a very personal thing that can be shared but not forced by the government, we are allowed to practice our religion as we see fit without the government telling us whether we can or can't. Nor can they establish a single state religion.Freedom of speech is strongest freedom that the individual has, simply put it’s your individual freedom to speak out against or in favor of a subject. If you do speak out by yourself you may or may not be heard it's best to organize without just like we are now seeing with the tea parties. Also you can be ridiculed or punished for your speech say what you want you just have to be ready to live with the consequences.The right of the people to peaceably assemble allows for protest. This is in my opinion the second most important because it is the next step in America uses to make changes. Only as groups will government start to pay attention.Last fall I feel the most important is the right decision the government for redress of grievances of all these freedoms this allows the people the ability to make a change in government such as causing a lot of establish changing our American society. To this point I would suggest that those who are more knowledgeable work together with the leaders of the tea party movement to make changes that would prevent the government's slide to socialism.I feel that we are steadily moving towards this position, as we have seen the takeover of banks and corporations we have spoken out and prayed that our government was trying to do the right thing.Some media outlets actually practice freedom of the press and reported things in a nonbiased way. The majority of the media reported things in which there wasn't any questioning of the choices there government has been making. Next we've seen the American populace start to gather in protest against our government's slide towards socialism tea party movement(which is a group of average individuals) has peacefully held rallies and protests against the choices are leaders and elected officials have made.I feel one of the most important is the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. This freedom allows people the ability to make a change in government such as causing laws to establish and changing the American Society I feel that this is the direction we're going, were soon to see tea party members take that next and final step that is guaranteed by our government. People have asked what the goal of the tea party movement is; I feel this could be the direction that tea party movement should go. Using all of our guaranteed freedoms to help ensure our government takes a step back from the slide towards socialism.
