I Hear You

(I)nsults fly

(H)arsh hurtful words 
(E)motions run high
(A)lways turning me away 
(R)estricting my opinion 

(Y)urning to be heard 
(O)ut spoken I may be 
(U)nderstand that in America we have 
                           Free speech 


  My conservative and moderate 
brothers and sisters

Thank you Heidi and like I told Chris if you're conservative or a moderate the left wants to take away your free speech. So share this with as many people As you can.

Great message Edward and a great acrostic, the sad thing is it seems the Free Speech part is slowly disappearing.
