This is very interesting ... I post to the fb pages of my state senator and my representative. (They really don't "represent me, but you get my drift.) I am always civil and on topic. Suddenly, I am barred from those fb pages. Posted on another fb page are comments from others who have also been banned from their own congressperson's page.
Just now, tried to post to the GObP fb page and got the same message - that I cannot post there.
In the past, rather than address issues brought up in various posts, the 'webmaster' of the fb pages would go through the messages several times a day and delete anything negative or questioning.
(In contrast, negative and down right nasty messages are left up at the official WH/Obama fb page.)
This is very much like what we've seen the Rs do at so-called "town meetings" where they have people hauled out by security so embarrassing questions can't be asked. Or where Rs have run away from microphones so they wouldn't have to face the American people.
The only thing the Rs have not done is pass a law that silences the opposition.
It's their own facebook page. They can do whatever they want with it. However, if it was ran using tax money, that would be a different story.
There's a monumental difference between blocking someone from posting on your personal facebook page, and passing a law silencing opposition. Let's not start screaming armageddon over stupid shit like this.
You didn't read my post either.

No, i did. Your post, combined with your topic name, indicates that you think the GOP blocking you from posting on their facebook page is an attack on the 1st Amendment.
If I'm still missing something, then you desperately need to edit your post to make it more understandable.
I am always civil and on topic. Suddenly, I am barred from those fb pages.
What does that have to do with the first amendment?
And why would we believe your claim are civil and on topic there when you are never either here?

I suppose your bias contaminates your ability to read and comprehend. The First Amendment says Congress shall make no laws ...., and L.N. simply suggested the FB page violated the spirit of what all of America believes, that we can all express are opinions freely and without fear of being censored, or worse.
Also, please interpret your last sentence(?).
You stated this very well. Thanks very much.
Its always the Repubs who run away from questions.
Always.
If a D or the prez did this, you rw's would be screeching your heads off.Action Blocked
You have been blocked from performing this action.
If you think you're seeing this by mistake, please let us know.
And, rightly so.

I'm saying Facebook is private property. No one is stopping you from going to their offices, writing them a letter, calling them, sending them emails, hiring a Strippergram, or renting a billboard with your concerns.
I'm sure the ACLU is waiting with baited breath to take you case. Instead of bitching about this whole affair online, replete with copious amounts of righteous indignation, give them a call.
Many things go way over you head. That's sad. Pointing out what a private sector business does isn't whining or bitching, it's doing nothing more than people do everyday on "Yelp". Warning others of bugs in the salad or dirty silverware (I hope that's not too abstract for you).

The government is shut down.
There are no staff to run the Congresses FB pages.
Neither is any of the other Gov. web pages, like the OPM. You just get the general info.
Lame.
Really really lame.
Edited to add ... I just realized you probably don't know those are volunteer positions and manned by unpaid "interns".

Is it the fb page of the elected official or their campaign fb page?
There is a difference. If it's the campaign page, well you probably fall into the 47% category.

So you think the 47% would consider voting for a Republican?

The govt can't stop you from slinging vulgarities and profanities on someone's private site but the owner of that site can ban you for disrupting, destroying, defacing private property.

Exactly. Being shit canned for writing incoherent, inane, angry liberal drivel on someone else's page was a positive demonstration of the first amendment, not a negative one.

I can guarantee that if someone came onto luddlys property and started ripping his ideological beliefs that he would have the police over to arrest them. That would be his right.

Liberals are for free speech since when?
