ATLANTA (CBS Atlanta) - A Democratic representative is calling for an amendment to the United States Constitution that would allow for some legislative restriction of freedom of speech.

“We need a constitutional amendment that would allow the legislature to control the so-called free speech rights of corporations,” Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) was quoted as saying by CNS News.

He reportedly made these comments while speaking at the Annesbrooks HOA candidate Forum held last month.

Restrict the First Amendment.

Luckily for us it will take 2/3 or 3/4  forget which, of the states legislatures to do such a thing and will not happen. Unluckily for us the constitution hasn't stopped them before so they could find a way.

I think you've spotted the problem.  We need to change the constitution to who should be allowed to vote.  Maybe they should have to pass a test of some kind.

I suggest the same test for those who want to become naturalized citizens.

Make it easy, question 1: Do you want to fundamentally transform the United States? If they answer yes it is an automatic denial.

Property owners and military members/veterans only.

Property owners and military members/veterans only.

Those who are a net payer of taxes with those categories.

Bottom line, have those who pay for government decide how much it costs.

They should at least have to prove who they are (photo ID) and prove their citizenship.

Hi,

I would be satisfied if the test they had to pass was to prove they are who they say they are when they vote with a photo ID.

Seriously, this is the same guy who thought Guam would capsize.  All things escaping his piehole need to be considered with this in mind.
