I believe in the first ammendment right as well. I believe that you should have the right to voice your opinion and stand up for whatever you believe in, even if that belief is that women should have the right to have an abortion. I'm all for that, and would never want to stop someone from being able to voice their opinion or vote the way they believe. I believe everyone should vote the way they believe. I believe our laws should represent the beliefs and morals of the people. If we turn out to be a society that has no morals, then let our laws represent that and we'll face the consequences together.
I'm very active in politics and religion. I'm working for the next governor of Utah, Jon Huntsman Jr. He's running for governor and has the best chance of winning. My job was to place signs all around Salt Lake City for the primary election. I had a guy tell me that he didn't want a sign on his fence because he doesn't like to get involved in politics, or other things like that. He assured me that no other signs of our opponent would go up on his fence either to be fair to everyone. I thanked him anyway, and said it was too bad. As I walked away though, I thought in my mind, I'd rather see a John Kerry sign up in your yard than to know that you have no desire to give back to the community or stand up for what you believe in. The man was a hard core fence sitter.
People should use their first ammendment right more often, otherwise it will be taken away from us. I believe the Liberals are doing everything they can to shut the conservatives up by telling them that they shouldn't stand up for what they believe in, since their beliefs stem from the religion, and that would be a mixture of church and state. It's a sad thing when many conservatives buy into it and don't vote, or worse....don't vote their consience. Many people need to grow some balls and use them.....and I'm not talking about making babies... ;)
