H.R. 347 was put in place in response to ordinary citizens confronting their elected representatives in town hall meetings across the country about Obamacare before it passed. The goal is to quell citizens ability to directly communicate, even if angry, with their elected representatives. It should have been challenged at the Supreme Court as anti-1st Amendment.
If you remember Nancy Pelosi and Janet Napolitano said or implied that tea party protesters and anti-Obamacare (not even protesters, just individual with concerns) were “potential terrorists”.
People at the time glossed over this but H.R 347 is explicitely anti-1st Amendment because the terms “impede and disrupt” are left open to broad interpretation ... and not in certain citizen’s favor.
Correct!, It was put in by Wild Eyed Marxist’s on the Left in an effort to STOP CITIZENS, which means it should be USED AGAINST THEM!!
