 Too much thought went into those proposals. It's beyond the attention span of the media. Regards, D-Ray

Awesome! The more, the merrier! Planning on making it to any protests, Painter? If so, please be careful, the machine is frightened of and dangerous towards these folks. (Which tells me they've struck a nerve.) Take it from me, they think nothing of resorting to violence. Dave

I do not watch Fox or CNN. Instead I read several newspapers and find more unbiased (IMO) information... on a morning news cast not in the running for political ratings. Personally...I can't wrap my mind around any group listing demands. The elected officials should open the doors they walked into... as a result of their campaign success. And do the job they were elected to do. The protests started small and have balooned to include agitators from other states with another agenda to get Obama's jobs bill passed. Which I understand won't go into effect until 2013. OMG! now its becoming a civil rights movement??? http://news.yahoo.com/seasoned-activ...190809337.html We all have opinions...this is mine.

The use of the term "agitators from other states" is interesting. To the extent that actions taking place on wall street have affected most of us, it would seem like any citizen would have an interest in holding the wall street firms accountable for their conduct. I would be interested in the source of the allegation that the visitors are focused on getting the jobs bill passed. As far as presenting demands, the First Amendment includes the ability to peaceably assemble to petition for redress of grievances. As mentioned before, wall street's influence over government makes it's population a proper subject of any petition for redress. Regards, D-Ray

I find it most interesting that the Constitution is brought up (rightfully) as a bargaining chip when it applies to both parties...yet when the tea party assembled...hate posts were written...irregardless of their rights to assemble.
Wall street passed GO (monopoly) and collected their $200. Can you say...bail out? It all boils down to..... follow the money...IMO. As far as the Jobs Bill...we'll just have to get the details on that one.

 ) Others believe that it is a living document with general principles that must be interpreted in the light of the world as it now exists.I, for one, never denied that right of the tea party folks to assemble or to seek to make their voices heard. The freedom of expression and the freedom of assembly are not a one way street. The beauty of the First Amendment is that it protects expression all along the spectrum. My right to describe the tea party demands as drivel in no way diminishes the right of the tea party advocates to communicate their drivel. The First Amendment is, however, designed to deprive any group of a monopoly in the marketplace of ideas. The best weapon against the expression of a bad idea is a better idea. Regards, D-Ray
