County Democrats hosts community conversation on First Amendment

DOVER-FOXCROFT — The Piscataquis County Democratic Education and Outreach Committee is hosting a series of monthly Community Conversations entitled “Exploring the Amendments.” These conversations are an opportunity for neighbors to talk about current issues as they relate to the constitutional amendments in an informal setting.

The first in this series is on Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Democratic headquarters, 25 North Street, from 1-3 pm. The conversation on Oct. 5 will explore different aspects of the First Amendment, including the right of peaceable assembly, the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, the prohibition of laws establishing a religion or those that prohibit its free expression and the right to freedom of speech. Free pocket-sized copies of the U. S. Constitution will be available to all participants.

On Saturday, Nov. 2 the conversation will address the Second Amendment. Community Conversations are open to the public and all are welcome.
