Free Press and First Amendment Crucial To Freedoms,

Forefathers Wisely Built In Protected First Amendment and Free Press As Key Factor of Restraint On Abusive Government Actions.

No Free Society Functions Long Without Extensive Free Press Exposure Of Government Actions.

Newspapers and This Crucial Function In the United States Are Dying......

Because Single Copy Sales That Are The Key to Distribution Have Been Restricted......
Many totally blame the Internet competition, which is Indeed a factor, but newspapers were and are declining because of loss of ability to maintain input of new readers from single copy sales, which feeds other sales.

Newspaper empires were built with circulation that originated by sales on the sidewalk. A percentage of those sales moved to mail and direct delivery, but single copy originating sales were the key.

Now, Foot Traffic on the Sidewalks has diminished to Insignificant, in all but the largest cities down town. Foot traffic has moved to private malls.

Private malls are not generally open to news rack newspaper distribution, thus the old sidewalk newsboy or newsrack up date is out of business since most street shopping foot traffic has moved to private malls.

Rest Area sidewalks

The motoring public have to go to the bathroom. Commercial and private travelers all enter these rest area facilities daily. Five thousand to twenty five thousand in these 24 hours a day rest areas, go in those doors at a typical rest stop and use the sidewalk that is open to news rack distribution.

Therefore, rest areas are the ONLY still useable public property still guaranteed open to first amendment activities and open to all, without the government ability to squelch at will, on some pretense.

We think it important to all Americans, it Be kept that way.
