(CHICAGO)
People heading to Philadelphia Romanian Church in Ravenswood on Sunday might have a hard time finding a parking spot.
Ald. Matt Martin (47th) said no-parking signs have been put up for several surrounding blocks near the church at 1713 W. Sunnyside Ave. The signs have been mounted on Sunnyside Avenue between Greenview and Ravenswood avenues, and Paulina Street between Lawrence and Berteau avenues.
The parking ban is in effect from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
Martin said the signs were put up at the direction of the Mayors office, in response to plans by the church to hold religious services in violation of the stay-at-home order for the coronavirus pandemic.
The Rev. Florin T. Cimpean, took aim at Mayor Lori Lightfoot in response to the parking ban.
The police called me to inform us that they were asked by the mayor to put up the signs. It is completely ridiculous, Cimpean said in the statement. The mayor is inciting hate against the church which is very sad. A lot of our members risked their lives to escape Communism, only to find it germinating in 2020 under Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago.
Cimpean continued: We prayed for the mayor and the governor almost every evening since March 19. Yet, we are also aware of our constitutional rights. Their effort to intimidate us will make us stronger.
We spoke with a couple of cops working over that direction, and there isn't a single notice of any special event taking place in that neighborhood. This is purely a political move by Lightfoot in regard to a church daring to defy the government, and these parishioners specifically fled a government that restricted how, where and when they could worship. This is the cruelest of ironies.

Just try doing this to an abortion clinic
That’s still a blatant infringement on first amendment rights - the mayor should be personally sued and hit with punitive damages.
Then taken out and tarred and feathered.
These Democrat tyrants must be taken down.
The ghost of Nicolae (sp?) Ceacescu (sp?) is smiling and cheering amid the flames of hell.
Jesus enjoyed long walks.
Feds need to send in the National Guard like Eisenhower did in the 1950s.
Great statement.
Governor Pritzker permitted a new abortion clinic to open during the pandemic.
She should block the Sky-way into ChIraq.
And stop all truck traffic into and out of ChIraq for a month or two.
See if the peeps remain happy with her fascism.
I think we should try to convince Christians and Jews that if, God forbid, the Dems take over the 3 branches in January, 2021 they will not tolerate people who are religious. They will suppress our activities and will work toward taxing places of worship.
Such places contain many Deplorables and people who are Pro Life. Can’t allow any of that stuff. They will suppress gun rights, freedom of speech and one person one vote elections. Religious faith will not be left alone.
Africa and Communist China (after Soviet era Russia) lead the way for how believers can be threatened and worse by Dems in full power. Dem voting fools, don’t be naive about this. Leave and vote for Trump.

The people (individuals) must activate this.
Call the FBI crime reporting line.
Find out where she lives, park on her lawn then take a bus to the church.
.
Just sickening.

Missed that sad story. More efficient and money making baby murder.
Their government secured rights to kill babies shall not be abridged by God fearing people. Maybe they need a molten idol in front----Margaret Sanger./s
Someone needs to sue this lesbo loser affirmative-action nitwit of a mayor. Hasn’t she read the Bill of Rights or the Constitution? Of course, that would require that she is capable of reading. What a loser.
We must be permitted to murder babies and rip their bodies apart to sell the parts and their precious fluids. We must! That is the main priority of the ghoul DIMs/LIBs.
Trump isn’t going to stop the Democrat abuse of power. He is going to let it go. The Democrats will continue to do this and get away with it.
Due to his lack of action, our economy, mental health, and other things will continue to deteriorate. We will never recover.
Putting tow signs up in a residential neighborhood with less than 24 hours notice; towing neighborhood peoples cars and ticketing them? All to punish some churchgoers? Seriously? Aldermen are gonna get lots of calls. I would class action lawyer up so fast Lighfoot’s head would spin.
Feds need to send in the National Guard like Eisenhower did in the 1950s.
No, the church members should riot and rip down and steal every no parking sign within half of a mile of the church and dump them in front of the mayors office.
Trump isnt going to stop the Democrat abuse of power. He is going to let it go. The Democrats will continue to do this and get away with it.
I agree, President Trump is useless when it comes to defending his allies. He needs to step it up.
