1791 & Amendment One - Pints & Politics

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference. It prohibits any laws that establish a national religion, impede the free exercise of religion, abridge the freedom of speech, infringe upon the freedom of the press, interfere with the right to peaceably assemble, or prohibit citizens from petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted into the Bill of Rights in 1791. Lets peacefully assemble and discuss what the First Amendment means to you.

Join me at the second Pints & Politics at Tobacco Road Sports Cafe.
