Golden Oxen's First Amendment Forum

Welcome Diners, and members Surly, JoeP, and Ralph Emerson. Thanks for joining, make yourself comfortable and feel free to discuss anything you wish here.  Your interest and membership is most appreciated.

While my areas of main interest are in the area of Gold, Art, Coins and Stamps as well as Doom, Finance, and Political power and suppression, your views and ideas on various topics that interest you are of interest to me as well and no doubt to our other members . Glad to have you aboard,  GO

The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.

This Forum was set up with the intention of trying to live up to this right our founders wrote into Our Beloved United States Constitution.

Hopefully members will strive to make it a place of constructive ideas, critical thinking, and respect for the rights of others to voice their opinions. What can we learn on topics we all agree on? Differing views are the basis for learning and seeing the other side of a coin.

Hey GO,

You've done quite a job sprucing up this site. 

Haven't had time to check it all out yet - just got home from work and now I have to get ready to take my wife out for our anniversary celebration.  But I'll take a closer look soon.  Your site looks very nice.

Thanks JoeP, Happy to have you aboard. Give my regards to your wife as well, enjoy the evening.
