The Occupy Movement and Americans rights

I watch every day the events unfolding all over the country and the occupy movement that has really taken the country by storm.
I see that MOST cities have decided to have a hands off approach to the protests as long as the persons involved act in a reasonable and responsible manner. There are those few, protesters and law enforcement alike, that have serious behaviour problems.
The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights reads:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This outlines the proper access and also gives the protesters the proper guidelines that should be followed when Americans are engaged in protesting.
I implore all protesters to read this and truly understand the our forefathers were protesters themselves. They had lived their lives under a Monarchy and had had enough. It was a different circumstance and a really different time then, but the idea was the same. Stand up as a group and express peaceably if possible your dissatisfaction with the powers that try to control you.
As Americans we do have rights, and not the least of them is to be able to express our dissatisfaction with the status quo. We all must remember though, that, these expressions must be peaceable and organized or the entire movement becomes nothing more than an expression of anger and discord.

Do not let the big business and government pressure restrain you. Restrain yourselves and keep on expressing your dissatisfaction, but do so in an orderly and organized manner. You must not quit, but you must be able to control those within your ranks that would do harm to your cause by acting in a violent and rougish manner.

I have taken this campaign and the related ideas that I have very seriously and I ask you to do the same. Keep the pressure on them, but please do not let members of the group cheapen the effect.
Remember, our country was started with the idea that Americans have right to govern themselves, let us control ourselves and effect some REAL change in this country, by using the power of numbers, not the effect of violence. We all can effect change and return the control of this FREE country back to the citizens that live in it.
I ask for you to let me try to be that new leadership as I am one of the millions that have had enough of career politicians serving only big business and themselves while disregarding those that elected them.
This is our country, not just theirs.   "Take it Back"

Discretionary law enforcement

With the modern crisis that nearly every city and state currently is facing, I see why there is an issue with enforcement and prosecution of offenders of the law. I also understand that there are issues with manpower, resources and other tools needed to take care of the challenges faced by law enforcement and the judicial system.
What I fail to understand though, is how and by whom are the determinations made as to what laws to enforce today?
If there are laws on our books that aren't cost effective to enforce and they are something that someone in authority chooses not to enforce, well, why are they there?
The reason the laws are there is because they were created to protect the law abiding citizen. The law makers listened to the citizens and created the laws. The enforcement is apparently discretionary?
This is not acceptable. If there are laws to protect the citizenry from opression, discrimination, exploitation or criminal acts, they are not discretionary.
I have seen our own government take the teeth out of immigration reform and give amnesty to those that break the law and are in our country without the legal right. I have seen our government coddle those that would persecute and terrorize us. I have even seen our own government ignore it's own citizens for our best interests, like we are all children and too stupid to take care of ourselves.
If laws are not to be enforced I say get better enforcement, not remove the laws and penalties. I for one believe that the law is best if obeyed and enforced for the betterment of all free citizens and our society.
A lawless society is a failed society, but one with laws that they do not enforce is a joke.
Just my opinion, that's all.
