Sorry, the statement you quoted was part of the Q & A that I quoted in my post. There are certainly plenty of cases where one’s free speech right is not the same when in government employment.
A firefighter in Massachusetts was fired because it was discovered that he had signed on to the petition to bring the gay marriage issue before the people as the constitution of Massachusetts allows. I don’t know what happened about this but I sure hope he fought back.
Is there a lawyer in the house who can explain what the law says about this?
The United States is becoming a hostile place for Christians to live. Perhaps we should leave. i say this not in fear, or because of some doomsday idea. i say this in love. We should all just leave. Maybe go to Mexico, buy up a couple of towns, and just move in, build an economy, develop trade with other countries and compete with the sodomites in the open market. Seriously
Frightening. Firefighter can’t even sign a petition requesting a referendum?
So he loses his job. Or some gay nazi coworker arranges for him to die in a fire and makes it look like an accident.
Btw do you have a link or more details? Would like to read more.
