The White House and the Department of the Interior rejected a request from Rep. Steven Palazzos office to have World War II veterans visit the World War II memorial in Washington, the Mississippi Republican told The Daily Caller Tuesday.
Palazzo helped the veterans commit an act of civil disobedience against the Park Service Tuesday, when the heroes stormed through barricades around the closed memorial.

“when the heroes stormed through barricades”...?
Stormed through barricades? What? I have watched dozens of video clips of yesterday’s visit to the memorial, and I don’t recall seeing anyone ‘storming’ the barry-cades.
Shuffling.
Meandering.
Honoring.
Reflecitng.
Saw all of those, but NO storming.
Just sayin’
Petitions are good. In the streets is also good. I would not give a second thought to driving two hours to get to DC today. Don't we have any Constitutionalists within two hours drive?
Petitions will be ignored. Civil disobedience will get attention.
This administration manages to reach a new depth of contemptible behavior on a regular basis.
Post of the Day!

Outrageous, I am livid!!!!!!!!!!!! There would be no USA without them!!!!!
Where is the press and everyone in congress why are they not there supporting these heros!!!

Update.
Obama admin. knew about WWII veterans request and rejected it
On the news this morning they said Obama is sending out armed police on horse back so the groups cannot enter.
.
I think it would be an interesting photo op to see the Park Police trampling on aged WWII vets on horseback with guns drawn.
where did he get the extra money to hire the goons and build the blockades?
