First Amendment Rights

Actions speak louder than words my friends. Christians banded together to form a human chain around their fellow protestors who are Muslim so they could pray today in a protected space. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ghandi would be proud. Non-violence tactics work. Depsite, government officials dressed in civilian clothing looting cities to make protestors look bad the protestors themselves simply report them. Meanwhile, across the world I can sit at my computer and e-mail my president and tell him actions speak louder than words. I can tell him this because I'm protected under the first amendment of the US Constitution which guarantees me freedom of speech. The same rights the people of Egypt are fighting for I enjoy because of where I was born. God/ Allah whatever God you pray to be with you my Egyptian friends. Although we've never met you are in my thoughts and prayers. Be safe. PEACE and Justice be with you.
