Disapproval is a violation of my fredom of the press rights and freedom of speech rights protected by the United States Constitution Admendment 1. On page one of this notice, the disapproval reason stated is D.0109(f), but on page two, nothing is written in the D.0109(f) section stating why or for what reason the publication was disapproved. Therefore I cannot write an appropriate argument/appeal.
