Dissent a matter of duty

I notice that despite all the money and power behind the Obama administration, and the United States Congress, they cannot overcome the power of free speech and dissent from the common citizen questioning rushed, social legislation incapable of interpretation.

Instead the government is joined by the money and power of “press” such as The Spokesman-Review, who print biased “articles” on the front page in an effort to mock dissent and disruption of rushed, incomprehensible legislation.

The Spokesman-Review and other rags should try living up to their First Amendment duty and print objectively investigated interpretations of the legislation, line by line, explaining exactly who will benefit and who will lose, and how much money will go to administration, and how much will go to the provision of medicine, and what it will cost, and who will pay.

Until then we have a duty to question, and dissent and disrupt.
