VIEW MOREIn this article, the writer, Drew Wilder, comes to talk about how many people have spoken out their disagreement regarding the actions that David Brat was taking. While this was happening State Senator Amanda Chase was threatening to kick them out. This comes to illustrate the ignorance that people in either congress or the government in general can be ignorant towards the people even when they try and oppose what people who are in charge of making the laws or passing them have executed. Instead they attempt to threaten them in order to try and control them such as Amanda Chase did when she threatened to kick anyone out who had an opinion opposing the one from David Brat.

This gives a point of view regarding petitioning the government in the first amendment. The article talks about how the government responds at times when it comes to people petitioning against the government and this article also provides real life examples of people petitioning the government. In the example John W Whitehead talks about how Harold Hodge silently stood in front of the Supreme Court with a sign about unjust deaths that are permitted by the government and then he was confronted by a police officer from the Supreme Court and told Harold her was violating a law regarding what he was doing.
