Amendment I

Congress shall make no law … prohibiting the free exercise thereof … the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Despite quotes to the contrary, I do not see anything in these words that provide for an exception to this right.

Full wording:

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.

Whether you agree or don't agree with the Occupy movement, protecting the First Amendment seems like a no-brainer.

My wife and I saw same guy back in 1998 when I proposed to her.

I never planned to stop; life just decided to slap me in the face with work and parenting.

The kids are doing great in school and enjoy after school tennis and other activities.

I want to get back to writing this blog, but I've been rethinking the content. No conclusions as of yet.
