If you have to ask if pitching a tent in NYC is a First Ammendment issue, it’s no wonder you have to ask if pitching a tent in NYC is a First Ammendment issue.
I can imagine the scene now....Jefferson talking with Ben Franklin. Some dude walks in and talks to the two guys over the right to be added to the list....the right to camping. Jefferson is standing and just wondering what camping has to do with the Constitution. Franklin? He’s probably never camped in his life and wondering why a guy would make such a big deal about camping.
What we need is a broad based support agenda....the right to camp....to be added to the Constitution. A guy should be able to camp anywhere, anytime, with any possible set-up. It’s an American dream....camping.
