Dear Mr. President and the 1st Amendment!”

Many of you may have heard of the flag protest controversy with the National Football League’s Colin Kaepernick.  Our president has once again weighed in and in a big way.  Not only did he tell fans to walk out if a player protested the National Anthem but later used vulgar language saying, “get that Son of a Bit_ch off of the field right now, out, he’s fired!” The protest started due to the treatment of African Americans at the hands of police throughout the nation. 

 This is on top of what the president said after Charlottesville.  For those remarks Republican Senator Bob Corker rebuked the president by saying, “the president has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to e successful.”

 NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell commented after president’s Trumps latest remarks at a campaign rally in Alabama.  “The president failed to understand how the league and its players work to together to create a sense of unity in our country and in our culture.

It does make me wonder if the president doesn’t know that we have a 1st amendment in our constitution and that one purpose for it is to prevent Tyranny by backing it up with the 2nd amendment…what would you say to our president if you had a chance to sit down and have a one on one with him?
