So, the exercise of free speech is dependent upon money? Well, I don't have any money to spend on getting my views out. I guess that little obstacle is violating my freedom to exercise my First Amendment rights.

Then go earn some. It isn't my problem you don't have the ability to voice your views. But don't try to limit mine as a result.

Absolutely, if you wish to get your views out to the vast masses.

You are able to exercise a very limited amount of free speech right now. You cannot communicate to Joe Schlub, though. If you wish to do that, you would earn a little extra money and donate to a group with views similar to yours. Then, in that way, you'd be able to speak freely to Joe Schlub.

Oh! Ha ha! I'm sorry! You can't do that any more!

Only Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw will be able to speak freely to Joe Schlub, thanks to your George Bush.
