Where Has Freedom of Speech Gone?

They’ve removed our Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from the committees she was on. They’re trying to remove her completely from Congress. She won fair and square here in Northwest Georgia. She’s got “stones” as Benjamin Franklin would say. I like her. We voted for her in District 14 of Georgia because we wanted someone scrappy and brave who would fight for our interests.

They say Marjorie Taylor Greene believes in conspiracy theories and that that’s some kind of crime. I don’t care if she thinks the Easter Bunny is in league with Little Red Riding Hood to take over the Little Red Hen’s bread box. She’s fighting for our rights. And that’s what we elected her to do.

Since when did saying, thinking or believing something become a crime in this country? Where in the world has freedom of speech gone? Since when did we become subject to the Thought Police?

And since when do other states get to take away our representatives? Greene’s not California’s representative or Atlanta’s or Pennsylvania’s representative. She’s ours. The rest of the country gets to have their representatives they voted for. We don’t try to remove your representatives. Don’t tread on ours.

These attacks on Marjorie Greene (Rep-GA) are saying that anyone who has ever had a social media discussion about something that the powerful mobocracy decides is taboo can’t hold office, must be cancelled from their jobs, and publicly ridiculed.

This is a horrible attack on freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the rights of every American. We’re now not allowed to publicly discuss theories or ideas or engage in discussions that aren’t PC today or what might become politically incorrect at some future date. Every post you’ve liked, every comment you’ve made, every article you’ve shared is now incriminating evidence against your sanity, your right to serve public office, or frankly to have a job and support your family.

Every American regardless of party must stand up for Marjorie Greene’s right of free thought and free speech. If you don’t, it may be you next.

My dad has been quoting this old poem from the holocaust by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984):

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

If under the Constitution the Senate had no right to dismiss state certified and appointed electors even if there were concerns of fraud at the state level, then the Congress nor any other body has the authority to unseat a Congresswoman fairly elected by the voice of her constituents in Georgia District 14. Marjorie Greene has committed no crime. There is no authority to do this to her.

An attack upon one state is an attack upon the other 49. An attack on one American is an attack on every American. Please write and call your Congress members and tell them to stand by the Constitution and protect freedom of speech and thought in this nation by ceasing their assault on Congresswoman Marjorie Greene (Rep-GA)!

If you really want to know who Marjorie Taylor Greene is, watch this.

Note: The freedom of speech for all Americans is also under attack by what is happening in the impeachment trial of former President Donald J. Trump. Read this informative article by legal scholar, Alan Dershowitz here.
