I believe the Constitutional Right ''peaceably to assemble'' includes Democratic Underground. [View all]
AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
While a lot happening today wasn't around when the Founders lived, their idea of We the People having a basic Right to meet and exchange ideas in peace – wherever and whenever and however We want to – is still central and essential to democracy.
If we want democracy and our constitutional republic to continue, let alone my beloved Democratic Party, it must remain ever so.
