HR 347, The so-called anti-occupy bill

[71buickfreak]

Holy crap, talk about overstepping their bounds. The house and senate passed and Obama signed into law this morning HR 347 which makes it illegal to protest on any grounds that may impede governmental duties. This is under the secret service and homeland security. The language in the bill is extremely vague, which means it was written to allow the government to abuse it and justify their actions. You may not agree with the occupy morons, but this is not an occupy issue, this is a bold-face trampling of free speech and we should all be up in arms over it. There is definitley a "boiling the frog" kind of vibe going on here.

Thou must not tread upon the Royalist's sacred ground and impede the Premier's business. So much for the last vestiges of 'public service'.

Welcome to overt Communist rule. Enjoy. Makes it look like the occupied gig was a false-flag op.

Communist

I don't think that word means what you think it does.

Well, the ACLU article pretty much affirms what the OP is saying if you don't count the "passed and signed" part.

E: looks like it's law, jeez. Need a new link though

The passed and signed part came from Ron Paul's website. According to the whitehouse, he signed it Thursday.

Its a done deal. One less freedom. Thanks!

Oh yeah, I see it. There's a bunch of stuff out there now. The ACLU article was just unclear.
Could be used to target peacable assembly.

The SS (as I now call them) is in charge now. Wonder who Obama is going to appoint as the head of his new gestapo. Or is the KGB, with his penchant for caling people Czars. I am really getting sick of this.

 

[ignerntbend]

It has been ever thus. Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose.

Of that, I am unsurprised.
