stand up and be counted

plan for designated protest space on DC mall
“The National Park Service envisions a prime venue for demonstrations: a broad space at the foot of the Capitol with restrooms, seating, a paved surface, even a stand for the media. Lawyers for activist groups fear a designated, government-approved “pit,” limiting freedom of speech and movement in a hallowed place of protest.”
“According to Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., House Resolution 1955, otherwise known as the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, is a much-needed piece of national security legislation subject to unnecessary paranoia and fear. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the resolution, which Harman sponsored, is one step too close to an Orwellian nightmare, especially for the Democrats who concocted it.”
FYI- my blog got looked at briefly by DHS- since it was only a few seconds- let’s hope it was a wrong number. (didn’t want to direct link- you can google it yourself)
