TOWN HALL: Not a First Amendment issue

In response to recent national media attention over a local event, it’s important to remember what is and is not a First Amendment right.

The First Amendment gives us the right to criticize our government. 

It does NOT give us the right to obnoxiously disrupt political meetings and thereby infringe on others’ right to speak and assemble peaceably without consequence, then use the staged event to get rich.

What a disgraceful show!
