THE CRESCENT EAGLE PARTY

**Civil Rights** **Abortion:** "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." This is an excerpt of the 14th amendment in the constitution. This amendment clearly states that the creation of law prohibiting a woman from getting an abortion is unconstitutional. To get an abortion is the choice of the father and the mother, not the choice of some stranger. This we are strongly against, we will prohibit congress form making such laws.

**Infringement of 1st Amendment:** The first amendment states "Congress shall make no law....abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble...." Throughout the history of the United States we have seen groups of people denied their first amendment right. The government has found loop holes to stop protests. The most famous occurrence seen in history is the African American civil rights movement. The police arrested innocent people for parading without a permit, they were not parading, there was no audience on the other side of a fence watching for amusement. These people who were protesting were not in costumes, they were not paying to walk down the street with money they were paying with their lives. The latest incident is the occupy wall street movement where many people are being arrested. There has been 30 journalist arrested since September of 2011. The police’s reason for arresting them is “unlawful assembly”, this is no reason. The first amendment says "freedom of press or the right to peaceably assemble". We will re-inform congress of its constitution and the first amendment. We tell them that it must be enforced without question, that is what our founding fathers wanted.
