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".

The Refdesk Sites of the Day are: Nixon White House Tapes The Nixon White House Tapes consist of approximately 3700 hours of recordings containing approximately 2800 hours of recorded conversations between President Nixon, his staff, and visitors at locations in the Oval Office; the President's Executive Office Building hideaway office; the Cabinet Room; various White House telephones at the Oval Office, EEOB and the Lincoln Sitting Room; and at various Camp David locations. These recordings were produced surreptiously, without the knowledge of most of the participants. The existence of the White House taping system was first made public during the testimony of former presidential aide Alexander Butterfield before the Senate Watergate committee in July 1973. Recording stopped soon afterward, but the equipment was not removed until after President Nixon left office in August 1974. ----- FindLaw FindLaw.com is the nation's leading provider of online legal information and solutions for the legal community, businesses and individuals.
