I am here to ask for you to cast your vote against the new upcoming bill allowing people to carry concealed weapons across states. The Second amendment stretches for people to carry weapons with them for safety, but not for carrying weapons across states for protection. The second amendment would not support this kind of bill simply because the bill is mainly for self protection like weapons to be stored at home, not in the public eye. The constitution has been extended a far enough point where we must stop and see the better of where this constitution is taking us. Your vote can mean anything from allowing a ridiculous bill from being passed.
“I have opinions that, frankly, a lot of people are thinking. They just won't tell people. They don't pollsters. They don't tell journalists. But they think it” (Lieberman). These are the words of conservative blogger and self-proclaimed “provocateur,” Milo Yiannopoulos. Yiannopoulos had been scheduled to speak at the UC Berkeley campus, but given UC Berkeley Police Department’s security concerns surrounding his appearance, the event had been cancelled. Yiannopoulos argues that his First Amendment right had been violated and vows to return for a future event, “Free Speech Week.” Additionally, Ku Klux Klan activist Chris Cantwell has been invited to speak. The University argues that due to Yiannopoulos’ past doxing activities and the threat of violence associated with his presence, it is not required to accommodate such speech. In this memo, I will provide legal precedents arguing that 1) “Free Speech Week” should be permitted to proceed with or without Chris Cantwell, 2) the associated KKK rallies should be permitted to proceed, and 3) a counter-argument addressing the strengthening of civil disobedience.
I appreciate all that you have done. Thank you for your time being a Senator for Iowa for 36 years. You have done a great job of speaking out for our state. I understand it must be hard to be Senator. Having to listen to everyone must be difficult.
Although the First Amendment addresses the right of free speech, there are still limitations to what one can say or do to express his or her opinions. For example, threats, libel/slander, obscenity, and fighting words are illegal and can result in arrest depending on the extent of the crime. Despite these restrictions, there are some undesirable situations that the First Amendment still covers. These situations are considered unacceptable in society and can cause disruptions in everyday life. Yelling at a teacher, excessively snapping at employees, and causing interruptions during the national anthem or other honorable moments are all protected under the First Amendment, but they demonstrate times in which free speech should not be

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls of this fine nation, we need to come together and resolve the issues and arguments of our 2nd Amendment right. There have been tragedies in Las Vegas, Orlando, and more across the country. A lot of us believe we should not be able to own firearms and some of us say otherwise. We, as a nation, need to come together and resolve our conflicts and find a way to meet in the middle. Half of us think guns are harmful, dangerous and that people should not be able to purchase guns, while the other half of our nation thinks guns protect themselves; also for sport, and are only dangerous when put into the wrong hands.In the Bill of Rights, the US 2nd Amendment, permits a US citizens to own a firearm for their protection.
Thank you for taking the time to contact me about H.R 1062, the Pilot’s Bill of Rights 2 Act. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this issue.
History does not change. Malcolm X once said, “I don’t even call it violence when it's in self defense; I call it intelligence.
MONSTER WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW HIM!! DIDN’T YOUR MOM TEACH YOU TO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!?!?!?!?" The leader looked at me with such hateful eyes and the men behind him were worried that he might kill me. I didn't really cared if he killed me or not. The leader then yelled after trying to keep his calm "Fine, but you are coming with me to America!!!" I shook my head furiously and ran in-between his legs to distract them from Snow. I ran out of the house and I stopped. I fell to my knees and tears came flowing through me like a dam that just broke and cant stop. The leader came out and laughed "HA HA HA HA!!!! So, you saw what I did to your poor mommy and daddy, huh? If they just did what i wanted in the beginning then this wouldn’t have happened." I turned and I could feel my eyes changing, it went from a grayish blue to a dark deep
It's like Hillary's worse nightmare come true, her "Basket of Deplorables" has taken on a life of it's own and instead of outrage from the right... For probably the first time ever, we love Hillary.
Martin Luther King Jr. is known for his great speeches and movements for civil rights. He also wrote an inspiring book called Why We Can't Wait. This book describes social conditions and attitudes of Black Americans in the 1960's. In the introduction to his novel, Martin Luther King uses persuasive devices such as parallelism, rhetorical questions, and pathos in order to seek social change for African Americans.
I’d like to start this speech today with a question. How many people have been in a vehicle whether being the driver or a passenger and drove by a stationary emergency vehicle sitting alongside the road? I can attest to driving by as well as being on the side of the road. My father, my grandfather, my uncle, and some of my ideals are alongside the road every single day. My grandfather owns a towing company, I have spent my entire life around emergency responders. So, the Move Over Slow Down Law hits very close to home. An article published by Matt Gray states, “Five firefighters per year, and one law enforcement officer per month are killed due to the violation of the Move Over Law. One tow truck driver is killed every six days due to Move Over violations,” (Gray). I am here today to persuade the audience to move over and slow down for emergency responders alongside the road as well as stranded motorists. People need to be aware of the Move Over Slow Down Law.
The right to free speech is one of the most precious rights an individual has as a citizen of the United States of America. This right gives people the opportunity to speak their mind and give their opinions of what they think should happen. These rights have been questioned and exercised throughout history, and have produced extremely positive things in a lot of cases. In modern times, people are always protesting something and in the colonial times it was the same. People wanted their voice to be heard and as long as it is done in a peaceful manner it is legal now, but it resulted in punishment for the colonists. People have never questioned whether or not these rights should exist, the questions involve whether there should be limits or not. No matter what side the authorities take, there are only two main points to deal with cyberstalking: free speech is an essential right, but it should not be meant to include hate speech.
a. Attention Getter: Each year, primarily because of exposure to secondhand smoke, an estimated 3,000 nonsmoking Americans die of lung cancer.
It is estimated that 36.5 million adults smoke in the United States of America (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). A cigarette contains 7,000 chemicals and 70 of those can cause cancer (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). When someone decides to smoke a cigarette, they are not only choosing to allow those toxins into their body but are imposing all those same toxins on anyone around them. Secondhand smoke is the combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by smokers and is considered more dangerous then smoking the cigarette (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention B). Every year 480,000 people in the United States of America die because of cigarette smoking, which is the leading cause of preventable disease and death. Why has this deadly habit become such a casual part of the American life? This habit is not only harmful to the person smoking, but is hurting everyone around them. It may be their decision to smoke and cause damage to their own bodies but when they decide to smoke in public they are infringing on the rights of everyone around them right to protect their health. Smoking should be made illegal because it is not only harmful to the smokers but also causes harm to fetuses in utero, developing children and any other adults who may breathe that smoke in.
