The Bill of Rights for people that don't like to
read big paragraphs.


1. Freedom of religion
    Freedom of speech
    Freedom of the Press
    Right to assemble
    Right to petition Government

2. Right to keep and use guns

3. Soldiers can't sleep in your
    home

4. Cops need a warrant to search
    your home

5. Right to remain silent
    Right to legal due process

6. Right to speedy trial
    Right to have a lawyer

7. Right to a Jury trial

8. No Excessive bail
    No cruel or unusual punishment

9. One amendment can't deny
    any of the others.

10. Non-Federal powers are
    reserved for the States

While it looks and sound good, the Bill of Rights won't do much for you when your rights have been violated.  Conservatives  courts tend to interpret the amendments in a way that favors their conservative views.  Amendments 1,2,4,5, and 8 are the Articles most often violated by our own government and law enforcement community.  

If Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were alive today, they would be ridiculed for suggesting that we have the right to petition the government or keep and bear arms.  I would bet that our current administration would call them "un-patriotic".  Include Ben Franklin and John Hancock and we would have an "Axis of Evil".

Don't let the Patriot Act replace our Bill of Rights.  Join the Libertarian Party and fight for your rights.
