| Put your John Hancock down in comments. We will continue to bump this to the top as long as access to any political blog is blocked in the state Senate.
We, the undersigned, wish to declare our support for free speech and in opposition to undue restrictions placed upon it. It is with this in mind that we wish to declare our protest to the recent blocked access to Blogging for Michigan in the Michigan state Senate. We believe that this action has suborned the public good by stifling communication between elected officials and constituents, and has blocked off an important legislative body from exposure to criticism of its actions. We further believe this to be antithetical to the concept of free expression laid down in the U.S. Bill of Rights, and to be in direct conflict with the very basic notions of representative government. We sincerely and strongly urge the office of state Sen. Mike Bishop, R-Rochester, to reconsider its actions. |
