Here Petition Against the right to petition.
People want to destroy America so why not give easier access and a brief lesson on the constitution.

Here is what you are petitioning.



The First Amendment

Printer-friendly page

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
— The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

Religion

The First Amendment prohibits government from establishing a religion and protects each person's right to practice (or not practice) any faith without government interference.

The Freedom Forum's First Amendment Center operates several Religious Freedom Programs advancing the understanding of freedom of religion in public schools and other venues.

Free speech

The First Amendment says that people have the right to speak freely without government interference.

The Freedom Forum's First Amendment Center presents several programs addressing aspects of free speech, including Freedom Sings and First Amendment on Campus.

Free press

The First Amendment gives the press the right to publish news, information and opinions without government interference. This also means people have the right to publish their own newspapers, newsletters, magazines, etc.

The Freedom Forum's First Amendment Center provides a program for newspaper editors and other staff through a partnership with the American Press Institute.

Assembly

The First Amendment says that people have the right to gather in public to march, protest, demonstrate, carry signs and otherwise express their views in a nonviolent way. It also means people can join and associate with groups and organizations without interference.

Petition

The First Amendment says that people have the right to appeal to government in favor of or against policies that affect them or that they feel strongly about. This freedom includes the right to gather signatures in support of a cause and to lobby legislative bodies for or against legislation.

Here is a website with 1 million people against it already. Petition is currently closed, try try again.

Keep in mind I studied civics and read many bills and laws passed and I can tell you when it come's to government they only care what the law says word for word, not your beliefs, feelings, rational thinking or exrapolations. Just cold fine print.

I apologize, was up late reading about the topic but failed to realize it was only for the state amendments not the constitutional amendments which supersede all.

Also, the "Amendment 1" in the petition is not about first amendment issues, but about banning same-sex marriage.

In that context, a repeal of Amendment 1 would be a good thing.
