1st Amendment protects ALL Speech!

Everyone hates BP, right? Well, at least that is what we're being told on a daily basis from every media outlet and social network on the planet.

BP is the DEVIL! (Oh, wait, we can't say the devil, because that involves religion and well, all religions are bad, except for Islam, because well, we're afraid they will attack us).

BP is an EVIL Corporation (same as devil today)!

For months, we were bombarded with images of gushing oil from the BP oil well and how they were destroying the Gulf of Mexico FOREVER! (Disregard all of the news about how the gulf is just fine.) Our fabulous Congressional representatives called the executives to Capital Hill to reprimand on live TV to "punish" them and to make the reps look so powerful. (Also disregard current scandals on reps and our $200 trillion debt).

And now, that they can't show us images of the EVIL spilling oil, Congress is calling the BP Executives back to Capital Hill to chastise them on how they are SPENDING THEIR AD DOLLARS! (http://bit.ly/bmwJJs)

This is absolutely ridiculous! Since when, do politicians have the right to tell any business how they run their business, much less what type of advertising they use or the message they run??

HELLO!!! Rep. Castor!!! Do me a favor go read the Constitution, PLEASE!

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to question a businesses advertising, AS LONG AS it's not deceptive or false!

The 1st Amendment protects all speech, not just the speech that you like, Rep. Castor! Please get back to real work and actually try and help get our country back on track!
