JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

February 14, 2021 - Scottsboro, Alabama - Censored Images and Statements by Affiliated Scottsboro, Tax Payer Supported Programs, While Allowing Images of Senator Bernie Sanders to be Posted - Violation of Constitutional Rights

 

"Mussolini Trump"
CENSORED 
Fair Use Rights for parody image of a  public figure. Non-profit news, education and commentary. Low angle photo during "State of the Union" presentation, photo by G. Morgan. 

CENSORED - Censored Images and statement by Affiliated Scottsboro, Tax Payer Supported Programs - Downtown Scottsboro, Main Street Scottsboro, Scottsboro Trade Days, in Violation of the Alabama Constitution and the U.S. Constitution - Violation of Civil Rights. Because of my posting of these images I have been blocked from posting on the mentioned City of Scottsboro affiliated sites on Facebook, but not the City of Scottsboro Facebook site. Some might say, that is not the City of Scottsboro, the address of these programs are 316 S. Broad St., that is the address of the City of Scottsboro at Scottsboro City Hall, programs have a City of Scottsboro phone number listing. The Main Street Program Director is an employee of the City of Scottsboro as Marketing Director and is directly supervised by the Mayor of the City of Scottsboro per job description.

Censored Statement Regarding Murdered Capitol Police Officer
We shall never forget. "After serving in the Air National Guard and dreaming of becoming a police officer, Brian D. Sicknick joined the Capitol Police force in 2008. He died the day after he was overpowered and beaten by rioters from the mob at the Capitol." From New York Times - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/11/us/who-died-in-capitol-building-attack.html

Photo of Senator Bernie Sanders who represents a specific political platform placed on the  Scottsboro affiliated, tax payer supported program sites - Downtown Scottsboro, Main Street Scottsboro, Scottsboro Trade Days. The photograph of Senator Bernie Sanders was taken by a New York Times Correspondent while Senator Sanders was waiting on the Capitol Steps for the Biden Inauguration program to begin. Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/21/us/politics/bernie-sanders-meme.html  After the Senator Sanders photos a photo was placed on each comment from the above censored photographs, and the short bio from the New York times about the murder of Officer Sicknick. Senator Sanders photo was posed on various Scottsboro locations.

I have no problem with the Senator Bernie Sanders Photos and photo shop images. My problem and complaint is that of censorship of other political images and statements in violation of our State and U.S. Constitution. Should Tax Payers be supporting such programs which censor political speech of citizens while allowing political speech of the site administrators?
