“This year, I’m sorry to tell you, the United States Senate is going to be voting on a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment,” Senator Ted Cruz stated at a Family Research Council pastors retreat recently.
He states that 41 Democrats are going to attempt to censor political speech, making it illegal for anyone to speak disparagingly about politicians.
“What it says is that politicians in Washington have unlimited constitutional authority to muzzle each and every one of you if you’re saying things the government finds inconvenient,” Cruz said.
Here we are, the death of our country is at hand. Political leaders are preparing to fully squash dissent – one hallmark of a totalitarian government.
This is so strikingly despotic that one would think it couldn’t be enacted upon average Americans, especially conservatives…at least right now.
This being true one would assume that, just like the NDAA (a law that enables the government to ‘disappear’ you without due process), the intention is to pass this law now and wait to fully enforce it until after our country is engaged in civil war or under martial law.
Of course, they could try to enforce it with the intention to help get the war started. They are so incredibly overt in their anti-American activites now it’s easy to assume that civil war is on their agenda.
Perhaps you should look closer to see what he is REALLY talking about…

Ted Cruz for President !
DO THOSE DEMS THINK THEY GODS LIKE OBAMA?
Do not touch freedom of speech!
I thought only Congress not the Senare could make laws,I think its time to start jailing a bunch of electe officals that forgot what their job is.
Ted Cruz thinks he’s really got a chance for POTUS!!! That’s a LAUGH!
Sen Cruz and collegues, here is something for you to think about: Right now Those of you who want this RIGHT appealed because you objectc to some things that are being said about some of our current “leaders”consider this: The day will come when you will want to do the same with a “leader” with whom you disagree and because you found it politacally expedient to repeal a Constitutional Right, you won’t be able to voice your disapproval. So before you act, THINK, and THINK hard about what you may think you wish to do.
he is talking about citizens united and money
So Eddie Cruz, I assume you`re in favor of repealing the 1st amendment. Move to Russia if you don`t like free speech.
This better not be passed. I think the change in seats coming up will ensure more Republicans are in the senate to block this unethical behavior.
