"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 United States Constitution is the part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress from making laws "respecting an establishment of religion" or that prohibit the free exercise of religion, infringe the freedom of speech, infringe the freedom of the press, limit the right to peaceably assemble, or limit the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Although the First Amendment only explicitly applies to the Congress, the Supreme Court has interpreted it as applying to the executive and judicial branches. Additionally, in the 20th century, the Supreme Court held that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applies the limitations of the First Amendment to each state, including any local government within a state.

Why has America drifted so far from the principles set forth by our Founding Fathers that they incorporated into  the Declaration of Independence? Today America is exhibiting too much apathy about what is transpiring in Washington and across our great  country. 

Are we to simply stand aside and permit America to become a Third World country with no principles, morals or leadership? I certainly pray this will not happen. 

Each one of us should do our part in restoring America. The TrustTruth.com Blog was formed so that all of us ordinary American citizens can voice our concerns and offer to do our part in bringing back the America that was intended by our Founding Fathers.
