Keep taking videos freedom fighters. It is your Constitutional right. Why? The Bill of Rights gives you the freedom of the press.

Watch Bao Chao Kelley’s interview of Frank Staple who is one of the Noble 9 arrested with Terese Grinnell.

Learn more about your rights.

If you don’t know a lot about our constitutional rights, watch the above video. Frank is a student of the Constitution and knows his rights and explains them well.

One thing that Frank points out is that the government is always telling him that he cannot record proceedings, but that is unconstitutional. With the 1st Amendment, we have the right to record proceedings. This is covered under the freedom of the press.

Furthermore, as Frank Staple points out in the video above, just because something isn’t specifically stated in the Bill of Rights, it doesn’t mean we don’t have that right. If it is related to the those rights found in Bill of Rights, we have the right. According to Frank, the 9th and 10th Amendment support that.

Frank actually hopes that he will be arrested for recording because he is hoping that the government will be exposed for their unconstitutionality. 

As you participate in the We the People NH events, you might notice government officials insisting that ”You do not have permission to film.” That is your opportunity to remind that official that you have the right under the Bill of Rights.

Fight for the Freedom of the Press.

We must keep taking videos of government proceedings. The government works for us, and we are their oversight. This is even more important to do since the actual press seems to work for the government too.

Has a government official asked you to stop filming? Did you comply? What would be your response if they asked you to stop filming?

Before watching Frank and Terese stand up for this right, I would have complied. Thank you for knowing your rights and fighting for them.
