Amendment I: 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.

It seems our so called Government officials need to read the damn 1st Amendment !!

OMG, why is conyers speaking so slowly... lol, it's like painful to listen to...

[letherden]

john conyers is a hero! these cspan vids always impress me with how totally a different picture is given than in all the other media spin. it was the same with the motives of the republican dissenters in the bail out who were portrayed to be saying something totally different to what they actually could be seen to be discussing on cspan. thank you moxnews. it was you that posted that discussion as well and i was devastated when they disappeared from you tube.

@thor9754 i'd be depressed if i was him. this is breaking his heart.

Julian Assange is a hero Mr. I sound like I'm a southern slave owner -Judge Gohmert.

Assange n his team are very brave and courageous people, the cowards who are ashamed of thier dirty little secrets are exactly the type of people that would never do anything noble, because they are greedy, fake and weak characters that will cut heads to get to the top, when the good people have some honor therefor often stay behind. so now we have all these stupid heartless cowdars in charge of the world

[kochammata]

[kochammata]

@thor9754 I agree! he's too old for lead this hearing

@qqj U-Say; wtf is wookileaks

Search: (Is the Internet 9/11 Under Way? InfoWars)

#1. Wikileaks—WAY too approved and publicized. Every TV and cable network, press worldwide, official recognition from every level of government. Heck, he even does a TED talk! Where’s anyone else trying to expose the agenda? Only Julian. Hmmm.

#2. Biggie: This supposed system fighter says the 9/11 truth issue is “a distraction”. Mustn’t step on your bosses’ toes now, should we Julian.. Very suspicious
