Nether the media nor anti-Second Amendment politicians want voters to know this truth.

Dear Fellow Patriots,
We might remember a small portion of the President’s State of the Union address in which the media’s camera caught Justice Sam Alito making lip movements to the tune of “that’s not true” when Obama criticized the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the ban on pre-election corporate and union political speech in the “Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission” case.

In the high courts five to four decision, the onerous sections of the BCRA (Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act) making it a felony for nonprofit organizations such as the National Rifle Association to use dues or contributions that even obliquely refers to a federal candidate up for election, was overturned.

Simply put, corporate speech from organizations such as the NRA cannot be treated any differently then the corporate speech of CBS, NBC, ABC or any other news media outlet.

Of course the progressives were outraged. The Supreme Court had removed the unconstitutional muzzle the BCRA had strapped on constitutionally oriented organizations like the NRA.

Justice Kennedy disclosed, “When government seeks to use its full power, including criminal law to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought. This is unlawful. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves.”

Nether the media nor anti-Second Amendment politicians want voters to know this truth.

We however know these truths to be self evident. Spread the word.
