Now more than ever, there have been a number of attacks on our freedom of speech. Various government officials want to make it extremely difficult for us to give our opinion. There have even been threats to Internet neutrality. If we want to continue to enjoy our rights to freedom of speech in America, we must do whatever we can in our power to protect it. There are ways that we can protect our freedom of speech that will actually bring results.
Start a Petition
If we know that there are laws that the government is threatening to enact that will attack our freedom of speech, then we need to start a petition to voice our opinion. Also, if there are laws in place already that violate our liberties, we can petition to have them repealed. This country is a democracy, and we have the right to make our opinions known, though, the government would like us to believe otherwise. There are many ways that we can get a petition started. We can use online petition sites, or we can write one out ourselves. Nice the petition is completed; we can then send it to the necessary parties.
Write Letter
Writing letters is another way to make our voices heard. In the letters, we must be very detailed as to why we feel the way we do. If need be, we can use the Constitution. We can reference our First Amendment right to have freedom of speech. When the letters are complete, we can then send them to the necessary people who will need to read them.
Phone Calls
Then, there is the good old phone call. We can jam up the lines and let our officials know that we will not stand for our freedom of speech to be taken away from us. Let them know that this is America, and we have rights.
