The First Amendment prohibits government (federal, state, or local) from making laws regarding the establishment of religion, interfering with the free exercise of religion, limiting the freedom of speech, interfering with the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceable assembly, or prohibiting the petitioning the government for a redress of grievances. Provided, the peace is not breached by any of these actions, and the rights of others are not violated in the process.
