Culberson looking for First Amendment renaissance

Looking to exercise your First Amendment rights during the August recess?

Boisterous interruptions might not be the best way about it, but if you’re looking to “petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” then Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) is your guy.

Culberson tweeted Sunday:

I am going to work to reactivate Congress’ original comm process for turning Petitions for Redress of Grev under 1st Amend into legislation

Our Founders’ generation used paper Petitions for Redress to demand and get Congressional action under First Amend: we can use social media!

The lesson? If you’ve got some grievances you’d like to have your congressman redress, get on Facebook and Twitter.
