what social welfare policies are related to the first amendment?

For the record:  "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."\n\nIt is easy for me to relate this to standing up for things I don't agree with, because that free press prints things every day that I do not agree with, but I would defend with my life their right to say it.  That's not just rhetoric:  I am perfectly serious.\n\nFreedom of speech, and of religion, are never more important than when we disagree.  I strongly take exception to people telling each other they should kill the infidel, especially since they would label me one.  But they have the right under both the freedom of religion and the freedom of expression to shout it to the heavans.  They do not, however, have the right to kill just because they have the right to speak about killing.\n\nIn fact, all of these rights are somewhat abridged, in order to afford others their rights.  For example, freedom of religion does not, with some rare and mostly harmless exceptions, permit one to do something (such as ritual sacrifice) that would be illegal if it was not done in the name of religion.  So a Muslim can talk about killing the infidel, but that does not confer a right to do it.\n\nSimilarly, there are practical limits on freedom of the press, or of speech more generally.  One classic example is enciting to riot.  If a speaker shouts for a crime to be commited and that crime is commited, the speaker is as guilty as the person whose hands were actually involved.  So be careful about standing before a crowd of rowdies and shouting for rape, loot pillage and burning.!

The first amendment says freedom of speech.\nThe Patriot Act allows the government to spy on you and arrest you if you "say" you're planning terrorism.\n\nThat's one link.

Who do you propose reporting Yahoo too? The morality police? We all have first amendment rights under the constitution. I've seen a lot of posts that I don't agree with but people still have a right to post them no matter what their politics or sexual orientation.

Yes. And if you doubt that answer, ask people the following questions:\n\n1. What 5 rights are guaranteed by the 1st amendment (Speech, religion, petition the government, assemble, and press).\n\n2. What does the 10th amendment say?\n\nI doubt most people could get one right, much less two.

1st Amendment - The limitations on campaign contributions, the prevention of being able to express personal religious beliefs in school, the assault of the ACLU against Christian expression.\n\n2nd Amendment - the numerous gun laws\n\n5th Amendment. Money (property) is being forcibly taken from me and given to other people in the form of Welfare, Social Security, Corporate Welfare, Agricultural Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, etc. "...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." Where is my just compensation?\n\nThen there are all the intrusions of government into private businesses and lives, regarding quotas and smoking and the myriad other unconstitutional intrusions.\n\nThe ability to grow and smoke marijuana, if I so choose. I don't need a nanny.\n\nThe list is long.

The firs amendment is part of the bill of rights, which was ratified in 1791.  It protects the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, freedom to petition, etc.  The followinig sources are great for learning about the first amendment...\n\nAlso, check out this blurb.\n\nCONGRESS 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.

Welfare is welfare, corporate or social EXCEPT for the following facts:\n\n1) The Goverment gives WAY more to Corporations then it does to the poor and needy. This is just plain wrong. It helps wealthy and powerful corporations become even more powerful and rich. These corporations then fire a bunch of rank and file workers and then ship their jobs overseas. They use the our tax money to help THEMSELVES out and screw over the American tax paying public. As for the poor they get peanuts. Has anyone out there tried to live off of Food Stamps or other public assistance? If you have then you know that the money the goverment gives doesn't really do shit for you. Most working poor need public assistance just to keep their heads above water. Aren't we a "Christian" country? We're obilgated to help the poor not help the rich get more wealth!\n\n2) Whenever the rich gets a break (in getting out of paying taxes or free money) they use it to expand themselves first and then maybe they might throw a few dollars into the American public by spending it for the good of the many,\n\n3) CEO's and other power players get rich off grants while the rank and file (Joe public) get shit!\n\n4) There are lots of idiots out there that think that the poor have it easy and just get fat off our tax dollars and the FACT is that most of them are barely making it and are an inch from joining the homeless.\n\n5) The working class and the working poor pay more taxes then the rich because the rich can afford expensive tax lawyers and find the loop holes in the tax laws while the middle class and the poor pay more then the rich do. That's fucked up!\n\n6) Remember ENRON and the S&L scandels? Who made off with the money (a bunch of rich CEO assholes) and who got screwed (all the working class Joes and their families)?\n\nWhy should my tax dollars go to rich asshole and big corporations that DON'T need the money?!?!?\n\nAn ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It takes less money to help the mentally ill in an out patient center then it does to lock them up in prison (the same goes to drug addicts and other criminals) But the corporations that keep building the prisons get richer off the goverment grants and they love it.

Your question appears malformed. The 1st Amendment, like all of the Bill of Rights, protects individuals "from" particular government action. It does not punish individuals for violations of its provisions.\n\nA person who distributes pornographic materials via the mail is protected by the 1st Amendment freedom of expression from being punished by the government for doing so. \n\nContent vs. Conduct.\n\nGenerally, the government can reasonably regulate the time, place and manner by which expression is conducted as long as the regulations are facially neutral and apply to all expression equally. Furthermore, the regulations must serve a compelling governmental interest and must use the least restrictive means available. \n\nIn the scenario of using the USPS for distribution of pornographic material, vs. other materials, a regulation that purports to regulate only a certain type of content, rather than conduct, would presumptively violate the 1st Amendment and would be declared unconstitutional.\n\nHowever, if for example the only requirement were that the materials be wrapped in brown paper so as to not disclose their content to any inadvertant observer, such as a minor child, prior to reaching the intended recipient, such a regulation would likely be upheld, since it does not impact the actual content of the expression, but only the manner in which it is distributed, and it is narrowly drawn to serve the compelling interest in protecting minors from exposure to pornography.\n\nObscenity.\n\nAnother issue is whether or not the content itself is "obscene" and therefore prohibited, regardless of its method of distribution. Under the Miller test, an expression is obscene if (1) it promotes prurient interests, and (2) it is patently offensive to the local community, and (3) it is lacking any serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value using a national reasonable person standard. So, if the material being distributed is so completely vulgar and useless as to satisfy all three of the above tests, then the government could not only prohibit its distribution, it could prohibit it's manufacture.

None.  I don't want BIG government controlling my life - or my kid's lives - laying claim on them for any period of time.  "Mandatory" and "Freedom" do not generally mesh well together.

The establishment clause of the first amendment means that there shall be no 'official' religion in the United States.  It does not mean each and every politician must be an atheist.  For one to expect that a politician will totally ignore his or her religious convictions when making law is ridiculous.
