~ In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the Free Press the protection it must have to fulfill it's essential role in our Democracy. ~ The press was to Serve the Governed, Not the Governors. The Government's power to Censor the Press was abolished so that the press would remain Forever Free to Censure the Government. ~ The press was protected so that it could Bare the Secrets of our Government and Inform the People. ~ Only a Free and Unrestrained Press can effectively expose Deception in our Government. ~ It is paramount among the Responsibilities of a Free Press, and their Duty to prevent any part of the Government from Deceiving the People that it Governs. ~ A Censored Press is the tool of a Corrupt Minority and a Free Press is the symbol of a Free People, but Truth is your Freedom and without Truth and a Bright Light too be shown on the Truth, there can only be Degradation of the Governed. ~
