The Pamphleteer |
|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

"Over 70,000 people will be conjugating this week to talk about the economy, retail sales, the environment, exporting, and the housing market, and it is somewhere other than Houston for the Republican National Convention." --Opening sentence in a press release for the National Hardware Show.(1992) |
