[TEXT: ShareAmerica]
Free speech has created more for Americans than just words themselves.
It paved the way for many liberties which are the bedrock of society in the U.S.
Americans remember outspoken leaders fondly today….
..but not everyone was on the same side of history at the time.
For example: In 1848, suffragists demanded equal rights.
Despite widespread opposition, and after 70 years of protests, women gained the right to vote.
Even students got in on the action.
Hundreds were arrested during the Free Speech Movement in the 1960s.
But students won their battle for academic freedom and organizing political activities on campus.
This resulted in a new and influential voice in American democracy.
Free speech in America also includes freedom of expression...
...which fostered an explosion of creativity and diverse expression of ideas in the arts.
This freedom resulted in the largest and most influential entertainment industry in the world.
Of course, not all speech is protected, like obscenity, yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, or inciting violence.
And not all speech is popular…or entertaining.
Still, even though Americans don't agree with every message, we value ALL free speech
because simply put, it makes us more free.

Lathan Watts - Jefferon's Separation of Church and State - Duration: 5:02.
You've probably heard it many times: Someone wagging a finger and going on about the "separation
of church and state."
But if Thomas Jefferson were listening in on that conversation, he would definitely
have something to say about how his words were being used – and abused.
Hi, I'm Lathan Watts, Director of Community Relations for First Liberty Institute.
There can be no better way to celebrate one of America's greatest statesmen than by
reclaiming his legacy for religious liberty and living as boldly as he did in freedom's
defense.
It is sadly ironic that a few select words of Jefferson — the "wall of separation
between church and state"— have been abused and distorted today by those seeking to dismantle
the foundations of our republic.
Those words appeared in Jefferson's now infamous letter to the Danbury Baptists, a
religious group in Connecticut concerned with its state government's weak religious liberty
protections.
Shortly following his election to the presidency in 1802, Jefferson wrote:
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God,
that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative
powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign
reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature would
'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and state.
Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights
of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend
to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition
to his social duties.
"Thus building a wall of separation between church and state" is arguably the most abused
phrase in American history.
A parade of anti-faith groups have used this phrase as a call to arms in a never-ending
courtroom assault.
Consider these cases, just a few of the hundreds of legal matters First Liberty Institute engages
in each year.
Two county commissioners — one in Jackson County, Michigan, the other in Rowan County,
North Carolina — regularly open their sessions with an invocation led by one of the commissioners.
In 2013, an individual activist and the ACLU, respectively, sued the commissioners for supposedly
violating the separation of church and state.
But as president, Jefferson not only signed bills which appropriated financial support
for chaplains in Congress and the military, but he himself attended church services held
on the floor of the House of United States Representatives at the U.S. Capitol.
Toni Richardson is an educational technician who works with students with special needs
at a public high school in Augusta, Maine.
In a conversation at school, she told a co-worker and fellow church member, "I'll pray for
you."
Her employer, citing the "separation of church and state," threatened her with disciplinary
action up to termination if she continued using such "unprofessional language."
What would Jefferson think?
As president, Jefferson also served as the chairman of the school board for the District
of Columbia.
There he authored the first plan of education adopted by the city.
His plan used the Bible and Isaac Watts' hymnal as the key books for teaching reading
in their schools
Oscar Rodriguez is a decorated Air Force veteran.
While giving a patriotic flag-folding speech at a retirement ceremony for fellow airman
Chuck Roberson, uniformed airmen assaulted and physically removed Rodriguez from the
room because he dared to mention the word "God" in his speech.
What was Jefferson's approach to the role of religion in the military?
In addition to the bills he signed appropriating funds for chaplains in the military, he also
signed the Articles of War on April 10, 1806, in which he "earnestly recommended to all
officers and soldiers, diligently to attend divine services."
In perhaps his most famous written work, the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson exemplified
his deep commitment to the divine origin of the rights of each individual in the famous
line, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are Life,
Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
In essence, America's "birth certificate," as penned by Jefferson, declares that God
exists, and his existence forms the basis for all personal, political, and economic
rights.
Those who seek to hijack the phrase "separation of church and state" to impose secular humanism
on our political life can only do so by willfully turning a blind eye to the volumes of Jefferson's
other writings, as well as his own actions as president.
Those actions speak louder than any words.
Jefferson's victories for religious freedom are our cherished heritage, and his fight
for liberty is now our fight.
Now is a time for all Americans—religious or not—to stand for our first freedom as
the bedrock upon which all liberty stands.
No better inspiration can be found than Jefferson's own personal seal, which read, "Rebellion
to tyrants is obedience to God."
Those who stand courageously against oppression can do so secure in the knowledge that the
author of the Declaration of Independence — and more importantly, the Author of our
liberty itself — are not neutral in the contest.

Millions Flee Top 3 Democrat States After Donald Drops The SALT Hammer - Duration: 3:01.
Millions Flee Top 3 Democrat States After Donald Drops The SALT Hammer
Yep, democrats are really feeling salty, these days.
Thanks to Donald Trump's dedication, America is winning every day.
There's little the left can do about it.
Oh sure, they whine and moan on CNN.
They invent controversy in the hopes of tripping him up.
But America is seeing how Trump's policies are helping everybody.
Well, maybe not everybody.
There's another kind of SALT that's hurting the dem's.
This SALT has everything to do with Trump's landmark tax bill.
While so many Americans are enjoying the benefits of lower taxes, a few aren't.
Guess where those few live?
You guessed it—liberal-run states.
Now the smart citizens are picking up their stakes and moving to greener pastures.
From Fox News: Over the past decade, about 3.5 million Americans
have relocated from high-tax blue states like California and those in the Northeast, to
low-tax red states like Texas and Arizona — and the change is likely to accelerate…
They say that the Republican Party tax bill's cap on the deduction for state and local taxes
(SALT) could ramp up the pace by which Americans relocate in their own economic interest.
Laffer and Moore estimate that both California and New York will lose on net about 800,000
over the next three years, roughly double from the previous three years, while Connecticut,
New Jersey and Minnesota combined with lose around 500,000 people in the same period.
Democratic holdouts, like California, hit top earners with a whopping 13 percent income
tax.
Up until recently, they've gotten away with it.
High earners could deduct that from their federal taxes so it would even out.
Essentially, liberal states were robbing the federal government of money from rich folks.
While they abused the rich with higher, local taxes.
Nice, I know.
But those deductions have been slashed by the GOP tax bill.
Now successful people living in places like New York, California, and other liberal cesspools
will see their taxes skyrocket.
The vast majority of Americans—over 90 percent—are enjoying a drop in taxes.
Only the richest will suffer.
Not because of the federal government—mind you—but because they are living in greedy,
liberal-controlled regions of America.
That's easily remedied, isn't it?
Many Americans are already fleeing California and New York for other reasons.
With state taxes rising, they have no reason to stay.
With them goes their businesses—and jobs.
Lower income folks will follow, just so they can earn a living.
Is that worth it Gov. Brown?
How about you Gov. Cuomo?
Maybe you guys should consider cutting taxes and actually attracting people to your states.
Oh, that's crazy talk!

NEET Competition Level In Your State - Total Govt & Private Medical Colleges and Total MBBS Seats - Duration: 6:49.
Welcome to NEETLab - A Free Online Coaching website for students.
I recently published lot of videos on expected NEET cutoff based on last year AIQ for many
states.
The aim of that video was to help students understand their state level competition so
that they can set their target NEET score based on their reservation category.
I received comments from students stating that the state level NEET cutoff mentioned
for south Indian states does not match with their own states.
In this video, I would like to clarify that by dividing Indian states into 5 zones so
that students can understand the competition based on the total number of government medical
colleges and total MBBS seats available within their state.
I had recently published category wise state quota cutoff for Tamilnadu.
There were lot of requests to publish category wise cutoff data for many other states.
I am in the process of analyzing state level MBBS admission data for various other states.
After I complete the analysis, I am planning to publish videos for many other states one
by one.
If you are interested to know the last NEET cutoff for govt medical colleges in your state
for state quota, subscribe to this channel and click the bell button so that you get
notified when I publish the NEET cutoff statistics for your state.
Lets get started with the statistics based on the data derived from Medical Council of
India.
I have divided states into 5 zones namely North Zone, North East Zone, East Zone, West
Zone and South Zone.
In North Zone, Uttarpradesh has most number of government medical colleges as well as
private medical colleges.
It has 17 govt colleges and 30 private medical colleges having more than 5000 MBBS Seats.
If you are from Uttarpradesh, then the state level cutoff is going to be much lesser than
the All India Cutoff of the respective government medical colleges.
Also, if you belong to North zone, the only place where you can try for private medical
college is Uttar pradesh.
Delhi seems to be the highest competitive state because 19000 students qualified in
NEET last year but there are only 1000 MBBS Seats.
The same is the case for nearby states such as haryana and punjab.
So If you belong to any of these states, there will not be much difference between All India
quota NEET Cutoff and State Quota Cutoff.
Lets move to the east zone, In this zone, westbengal and bihar have more number of government
medical college so the state quota cutoff is going to be significantly lesser than the
All India NEET Cutoff.
When it comes to private colleges, none of the states in this zone have more number of
MBBS seats.
Check out NorthEast Zone, only Assam has good number of medical seats.
Rest of the north eastern states such as manipur, meghalaya, tripura has one or two medical
colleges.
States such as Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh has no government medical colleges.
Lets see the West Zone now, Maharastra and Gujarat tops the list with 22 and 17 government
medical colleges respectively.
Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan seems to have the toughtest competition.
87000 students from Rajasthan last year competed for the available 2400 seats.
Look at South Zone, every south Indian state including union teritorry puducherry was in
competition to increase the number of government and private medical colleges within their
state.
Tamilnadu and Karnataka leads the list for both govt as well as private medical colleges.
Can you believe close to 50% of the total medical seats available in the country comes
from the South Zone.
Yes, nearly 27000 medical seats out of 60000 seats are available in Southern states of
India.
No wonder why students from states of all other zones, come to south India if they fail
to get seat from All India Quota.
Except few states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharastra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh..
most of the other states have tough competition for MBBS seats.
Hope this video clarifies doubts of many students from these high competitive states.
Do you know that 50% of private medical college seats are filled by state counselling at an
subsidized tuition fees of 4 to 6 lakhs/annum.
What would you do, if you are qualified in NEET exam but did not get this govt quota
in self-financing college?
Don't worry, there are private medical colleges which provide MBBS seats at the govt prescribed
fees.
If you do not know about these options, we can help you to become doctor at government
prescribed tuition fees of 4 lakhs/annum.
