We do have freedom of speech and freedom of the press in this country. That petition would go nowhere.

The National Rifle Association has as much right to exist as the National Organization for Women.

Ben Carson has as much right to run for President as Hillary Clinton.

What do you propose? That the government shut down political organizations it doesn't like? Should it shut down news organizations it doesn't like? How many rights in the Constitution do you want to trample to get what you want?
