No one respects the First Amendment more than I do. People have a right to express their concerns and their hopes and dreams to their government.

The First Amendment is very important, but it's not everything.

The First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is beside the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech.

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.

I want to regain my First Amendment rights.

As to the media, they are protected by the First Amendment, as they should be.
