Don’t corrupt U.S. Constitution

It seems to me a 12-year-old could comprehend the First Amendment’s meaning. While I wholeheartedly support not pushing my beliefs on others, neither do I appreciate the minority imposing on my constitutional rights, especially when I am a part of the majority.

The founding fathers gave their lives and welfare that we may have these rights. This amendment has survived as many years as it has; why corrupt it?

The only way I see to improve the First or any other amendment is to support it with all our might.

Please make every effort to support, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances” and get the word out to the silent majority that they may be awakened. May God bless America!
