Valuable Information " Knowledge is Power"

Well browsing the Internet I came across a site that I feel is very valuable, not only for my own personal use but for all to know about. The site is " http://www.foia.gov." This site is based off the "Freedom of information Act" This law gives us American citizens the right to gather information from our federal government. It is a very easy site to use and gives you information that keeps you in the loop of what is going on. I Found information that helps to better understand what  freedom of speech really means. It was titled " What Does Free Speech Mean." I mean first thoughts would be well its pretty clear that it mean free to say whatever you wish to say. There is so much more to it then just words, freedom of speech is also referring to ones actions as well. It also states that under the first amendment that “Congress shall make no law...abridging freedom of speech.”  There are also many examples of what is allowed as free speech, that have their corresponding cases and year of the case connected to them. Along with what is considered approved rights of free speech, there is also a list of what is not included. With the not included rights of free speech they also have cases under them and there dates.  Another thing I like about this site is that it gives you The First Amendment Activities that are currently going on now.  All-in-All this is truly a amazing tool for United State Citizens to be aware of. Not only does it give you full information about our Federal Governments activities; It also gives us Facts and Case summaries, Fictional Scenarios, Procedures, Agendas, Talking Points, and Script. I feel this is a great find and Will be very informative to all. So check it out!
