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....

Ever sit at a table, and second hand in, say something like: "He wipes his right eyebrow if he's got a flush"?

Talk about setting the cat among the pigeons.

Libs don't like it if you expose their 'tells'.

Happiness is a zero sum game. Their lack of it is directly proportional to my abundance of it. And When they have no hope for recovering any, my life will be complete.

Though I have no intention of being a Martyr in real life.......

Only if non-violent civil disobedience won’t stop this slide....

Then maybe, maybe, but we still have a long ways to go...

It’s becoming clearer every day why the administration has been purchasing ammo.

Forum on civil rights sparks protest rally for free speech
News2 - WKRN-TV - Nashville ^ | June 4, 2013 | Heather Jensen

Posted on Tuesday, June 04, 2013 9:16:59 PM by radu

MANCHESTER, Tenn. - Hundreds gathered to rally against a forum scheduled to discuss American Muslim civil rights.

The group came armed with messages and signs about First Amendment rights and free speech after hearing about the open forum through talk radio and social media.

The forum was described by Bill Killian, U.S. Attorney of East Tennessee and guest speaker, as an educational effort about civil rights laws as they relate to freedom of religion, specifically the Muslim religion.

The forum also informed the public of the federal laws regarding civil rights and the consequences of violating those laws.

However, critics see the forum as an effort to crackdown on anti-Muslim speech.

The forum comes on the heels of a Facebook post by a local commissioner that showed a shotgun and the words “How to wink at a Muslim.”

Coffee County and Manchester have garnered national and worldwide attention since.

We need to start having sit ins, stand ins, we need to surround some buildings and link arms together and sing the traditional songs of patriots, we need to force theuir hands, to make the government show the rest of america that THEY are the bully because they ARE the BULLY.

Outstanding, Grace. I've said the same thing on this forum a number of times. I'm glad to see that others are now seeing the same thing.

Full blown civil disobedience is the last stop before full blown rebellion. As Gandhi and MLK showed us, it's very effective in turning the great wheel of society. As you said, no one need die for the cause, but we must do something more than just waving banners and making speeches. We need to impinge.

It's also important to note that there's a window of time that civil disobedience can work. Miss that window, and we're left with but one choice to achieve the aims of improving our lot. Evil never rests. We must act while the thin veil of civility remains. If we tarry much longer, the evil that intends to enslave us will have tightened its grip to the point where we have no choice but to wage war to survive.

I’m with you. Mass strikes - one day, NO ONE goes to work; and/or massing in state capitols, massive just walking in the street, hundreds of thousands, all over the place, etc etc.

No violence, no threats, just a huge defeaing roar of “NO MORE!”

or something - at some point, people are going to stand up to this coup. Better now then when they really start using the stores of ammo they bought.

I thought for sure we had it in the bag with the last election. No, we didn’t have the perfect candidate but he was by far better than the alternative. After complaining for 3 years or so among each other on various media/forums about how bad things were going and whatever, I assumed Conservatives would be out there in droves voting last year. Was floored that they were not. And now we hear from some of them why. It makes no sense to me. Evil succeeds when good men do nothing and that kind of thing.

You won't be changing corrupt government or making it smaller, less corrupt, less punitive, less intrusive and or less threatening by traditional means... It's my bet is those days are way over.

Spot on. We've got to take it to the next level, which at this moment in time, is massive civil disobedience. And we'd better hurry, before the jack booted thugs in this administration leave us with but one remaining option.

It truly needs to happen, and happen soon, LJ. We're running out of time. Hopefully, all of the huge scandals coming out are weakening and slowing the regime down, but on the other hand, they might just be the thing that spurs them to stomp on the gas pedal.

Either way, we have got to recognize that this regime is at war with the people, and fully intends to overthrow the Constitution and 238 years of American history by any means necessary.

We already have a permit. It's called the 1st Amendment.
