Capitol Police to Tea Party: Show Us Your Websites or Forget Your Rally
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 4, 2013 | Jim Hoft

CAPITOL POLICE SUDDENLY WANTS TO SEE TEA PARTY WEBSITES BEFORE PROTEST APPROVED.

And they are taking weeks to grant the request.

The Tea Party Patriots were planning a rally in Washington DC on Wednesday June 19th.

But they ran into a wall.

The Capitol Police want to see their websites first.

Kevin Mooneyhan from the Tea Party Patriots described this latest assault on the Tea Party:

Below is the timeline of events surrounding our June 19th rally at the Capitol. We haven’t done anything to publicize this event yet because we wanted to make sure we had the permit in hand. You know, follow the rules, do the right thing, etc.

Event Date: June 19, 2013 Permit Submitted: 5/22/2013 via fax

Officer Brown contacted me on 5/23 to ask me 2 questions If we would have a banner and if so what the dimensions would be and how we would hang it.

If we were going to have buses and to make sure that we coordinated with Union Station since the Capitol couldn’t accommodate buses.

The impression that I got was that it would likely be approved in a few days. She told me, “Hopefully the next time you hear from me, it will be to let you know that the permit is approved.”

The following Tuesday, 5/28/13 I reached out to Officer Brown for an update....

The 1st amendment is kaput. Freedom speech and assembly are only reserved for radicals and smelly arses that hate this country and Constitution.

Wah....

Run a conservative and win. Run a liberal and lose.

It's that friggin easy.

I won't vote for a liberal (R).

Do you intend to try to convince me that I should have voted for a liberal?

Sarah put it simply: crony capitalism. IOW, follow the money.

There will never be an accounting for TARP. Our community agitator in chief now has it made. A to B to C.

The PTB have apparently accepted destroying the western influence on the world economy, beyond raping that economy for every cent they can before the collapse... and they suckered in an anti-colonialist to pursue and further their cause, laid under the felt blanket of his propagandazers, Jarrett, Axelrod, Ayers, Jones, Emanuel, and like traveling companions.

Into the shitter it goes ... and beyond compare, they escape. Duh.

I'd say we are closer to the latter now.

Well well. It looks like the final assault on the first amendment.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof - check

Or abridging the freedom of speech - check

Or of the press - check

Or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances - check

Some pundits questioned where the Tea Party was in 2012. I think we’re slowly learning the answer to that. They were audited, denied non-profit status, denied rally permits, and generally intimidated and bullied into silence.

Principled people are bad because they stand behind the words and principles of the founders.

Unprincipled people are good because they ‘won’ and sit silently while the left runs wild.

Got it.

I think the idiot here is obvious.

Goldwater was not a conservative.

Well, OK then. What's next? Are you going to tell us that Reagan was not a conservative?

(and even though he took a bit of a libertarian turn later in life, Goldwater was certainly conservative when he "wrote" Conscience of a Conservative.)

No, YOU would rather lose to a commie and see our Country destroyed. Congratulations. You succeeded.

I'll just state up front for the liberal(R) cavers that I won't vote for Christie or Bush if they get the nomination, either. You can start berating me now.

Better work hard to make sure your party nominates a CONSERVATIVE. Or, miss out on a bunch of votes.

Yes, I grant that he started off okay. But he went more than a “bit” of a liberalitarian.

these hearings are doing nothing and Obama and his Chicago thugs are just stretching this crap out, knowing the media will cover them.

CNN, and others hardly ever mention any of this and I have met some who had no clue about any of this and find to hard that I am telling them the truth because this what the Govt is doing is so vile with their enemy list

Forget non-profit status. Forget rally permits.

You think the real Tea Party got a permit? Were tax exempt?

TP needs to get a clue.

they’re getting away with all of this and these hearings are a joke, .
While the stupid party ask questions nad are stalled with stupid immature answers the administration is still doing their enemy list as if this was a third world country run by a dictator with secret police.

His numbers should be in the teens and yet they are still getting support form half the country, IT;S STUNNING AND YET SCARY.

Stop this madness, arrest certain people who are in charge of these depts. and charge them , fire them and lose their pensions and watch them rat out Obama then.

Obama knows damn well what is happening and if Bush had done any of this then he would have been impeached, the AG would be arrested as would the head of the IRS and yet the GOP just sit there asking questions while the Chicago thugs still target their enemies

This is what it looks like. When your Government turns on you.

Americans better get wise fast...Government at every level is corrupt to the core, as private sector America gets government gang banged...

Government now views most citizens and tax payers as burdens, heavy luggage, whistle blowers and problems which have to be dealt with...

A small example is corrupt government looted SS, and now see's millions they've robbed as a threat...A big pending problem...

Ok, I'm going to take the contrary view here.

The slate of questions in the article seem to point, clearly, to a concern about what kind of opposition the rally may draw.

I think it's entirely reasonable to ask for things like websites, twitter accounts, etc to be able to conduct a threat analysis based on whether a bunch of angry and violent liberals are challenging the rally organization.

Really, the way I'd read this is that the Cap Police don't have an issue with the Tea Party or the rally ... but are concerned about the potential reaction from the Left (anticipating that it'll be ... angry and violent) and want to properly prep for it. If anything it's an indictment of the Left (angry and violent), not of the Tea Party.

Remember that the Cap Police are Legislative Branch officers. They answer to a chain of command that runs up to the Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader, but which also includes ever member of Congress. If people want to know what's really going on, there are plenty of pro-Tea Party legislators in both Houses (Ted Cruz in the Senate and Michelle Bachmann in the House - she's still a sitting Member even though not running for reelection) to turn to for full information and possible intervention.

if the court throws DOMA away and ignores tens of millions of voters and their votes then the country is done.

Either certain states leave the union which will not happen because of the stpid party and too many dumb voters or we might as well move overseas or get in line as slaves to a tyrannical Govt.

I heard one republican senator state they are making a case by these hearings, HUH, will our side get some balls and do something about all of this, the cover ups, the corruption, the homostapo threatening people.
