"Our liberty depends on the Freedom of the Press, and that cannot be limited without being lost." -Thomas Jefferson "The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable. "- James Madison We CANNOT allow the Trump administration to continue actively utilizing the power of the office to enact Trump's personal agendas and narcissism, while derailing our democracy. The freedom of the press is key to democracy. And to allow Trump to deny access to longstanding, credible news outlets CNN, MS Now, and Politico purely because they are doing their job by reporting the truth instead of kowtowing and "kissing the golden ring" of Trump's ego cannot be allowed. I urge you to condemn this with the strongest possible words and actions to defend the freedom of the press, one of the bulwarks of our nation.
