As reported on NetRightDaily.com, 41 Senate Democrats have signed onto a proposed Constitutional Amendment that guts the right to political speech in America. (read about it here)
Now, the Democratic Party controlled Senate Judiciary Committee is trying to railroad this partisan attack on the most basic of individual freedoms with a hearing scheduled for Tuesday, June 3.
Senate Joint Resolution 19 would allow Congress to restrict the very right to change the composition of government by specifically conveying to those very elected officials authority over campaign spending under the guise of a newly created principle of political equality for all.
The Tea Party Patriots have taken the lead in rallying the people against changing the First Amendment to the Constitution sponsoring in-district rallies across the nation at Noon at Senate offices in your state to coincide with the Washington, D.C. hearing.
Dubbed the “Save Our Speech” rally, TPP is providing both a grassroots toolkit, the locations of your Senators District offices and a Senate phone list so you can register your dismay immediately.
The freedoms that are what make America unique are under direct assault by those who fear that if the people become informed about what is happening, they will lose their power. Perhaps this is why both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV) and Senate Majority Whip Charles Schumer (NY) are leading the charge to amend the right to political speech out of the Constitution.
Among other notable co-sponsors of SJR 19 are five Senate Democrats who are vulnerable to be defeated in November: Mark Begich (AK), Al Franken (MN), Jeff Merkley (OR), Jeanne Sheheen (NH), and newly appointed John Walsh (MT). The complete list of co-sponsors is provided below.
