Free Speech or Not?

August 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Here in the United States, we have something in our Constitution called “free speech.” That means that anyone who is a citizen of the USA can peacefully express their opinion publically or privately without fearing the police, the government, or being put in prison.

If you have seen the news recently, you may have seen Americans expressing their opinions in “Town Hall” meetings saying they don’t want the government to run health care and they don’t want the health care bill rushed without all of the Congress members actually reading it first.

The President of the US and the Congress members that are in favor of a government-run health care plan are very angry that people are expressing themselves. The President has told people to report other people who write things against him, his policies, or the White House and he has even made a special email link for them to report people! That’s NOT free speech.

The Congress people who are having the Town Hall Meetings are saying that someone is organizing or paying people to disagree. They don’t accept free speech either.

What do you think about this subject? Do you have free speech in your country? Do you think the President and Congress of the USA should follow the country’s Constitution, or not? Do you believe in free speech personally?

If you would like to discuss this topic, please contact me by leaving me a message on Meebo (look at the top right side of this blog). Let me know what date and time you are available to talk. My price for one hour of English conversation, chatting (on Skype or Meebo), or tutoring is US$15.
