		<description><![CDATA[Seriously, you never stop talking about it.  I’ve heard it twenty times now.  It’s time to expand your audience.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I tend to be long-winded and overly detailed when I write.  But, for the sake of leaving all political commentary and feelings out of this, I’m going to keep it short and sweet.</p>
<p>We, as Americans, have something that many in the world do not &#8211; the freedom to say what we want, when we want, about almost anyone or anything we choose &#8211; also known as the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.</p>
<p>Today, the First Amendment is being utilized by a consistently growing number of people.  Blogs, tweets, facebook pages, you name it and it’s being used to express opinions that, in many other countries, would cause the law to knock on someone’s door.</p>
<p>The moral of the story &#8211; become engaged.  Speak your voice.  If you care about something, anything, and you want others to care too, let them know about it.  The tools are there, you just need to find the right ones for you and run with them.</p>
