"Were you the one paying for the microphone, the PA and all costs associated with the rally? Was it a government official that cut off your microphone? If not, your First Amendment Rights were not violated."


Thank you. Our constitutional right to free speech is all about preventing the government from restricting our speech. As with the rest of the constitution, it is a limitation on the role of government. The right to free speech does not guarantee anyone the right to have a venue provided for one's speech, anymore than the 2nd Amendment guarantees one the right to have arms provided to them.

Sorry, You are correct, I guess I was thinking more in the Spirit of the law, Not the letter of the law.

But you are correct.
