Capitol Hill police are trying to block activists attending Wednesday's "Audit the IRS" rally from also attending a nearly day-long press conference on immigration, hosted by Reps. Steve King and Louie Gohmert. The IRS rally is on the west side of the Capitol, while the immigration event is on the east side. Organizers for the IRS event were told by Hill police that "your people" can only assemble on the west side. Organizers were told to remove the activists from the immigration event. Capitol Hill police left a voicemail for Kevin Mooneyhan, Deputy Executive Director of Tea Party Patriots, saying that "your people" only are permitted to assemble for the event on the west side of the Capitol. The activists' presence at the immigration event on the east side, supposedly violates the terms of the Tea Party's permit. Mooneyhan was instructed to move any activists who planned on attending the Tea Party rally away from the immigration event. Keep in mind, the immigration event is hosted by sitting members of Congress. The notion that citizens can't attend an event featuring duly elected Representatives in a public space is absurd.

How can they tell the difference between “your people” and “their people”?
bttt
“Your people”?
That’s racist! /s
Oh man this is absolute tyranny, ABSOLUTE!
I’m going to cut the Capitol Police a little slack on this one since they’ve backed off. They’re used to keeping crowds of opposed protestors and rallies apart for sake of maintaining the peace. It sounds like once they realized these were allied rallies they let them merge.
talking about data collection in the name of safety...yet in Syria government is arming terrorists
Listening now...he sure is doing better than Zero did in Berlin awhile ago....lol!
I remember all the ‘dreamers’ actually invading the halls of congress, waiting outside congressmen’s doors and invading their actual offices.
Thanks for the update
Congress is in charge of the Capital Police.
Exactly!
“Look the Capitol Storm Troopers could start shooting Tea Party-ers dead and it wouldn’t make the news.”
Too many people in the now gay-run national media too afraid of losing their jobs to report the truth now.
Think about it, and think about those that have already lost their jobs for daring to report against the MediaMatters Meme-of-the-Moment. The examples have been made.
Not many will risk their cushy homes, and families livelyhoods to report the truth in an atmosphere like we have now. Oh sure, a few will, and they will be branded “CRAZY!”, or “NUTS!” or “one of THOSE people”, and they will be marginalized, or pushed out.
History is repeating folks...
All we have to look at is how the NAZI’s rose to power.
My Grandfather lived through that. I’m damn glad he didn’t live to see this.
This is why you shouldn’t bother with obtaining permits for these assemblies. That’s how OWS got away with it.
When you accept the permit process, you accept their rules, like a contract.
However, if you just show up, there’s nothing they can do about it because there’s no “contract” that applies and the only thing that does is the right to assemble.
I remember reading about freedom to assemble and the right to petition the Govt if one has a grievance, now where did I read that again , mmmmm
I used to wonder how a well-educated, modern society like Germany could descend into the hell of Nazism.
I don’t wonder any more.
first amendment
freedom of religion, OK the homostapo and their supporters are taking that away with their hatred and bigotry.
Right to assemble, ah yes no where does it state get a permit.
freedom of religion has too nearly gone with the homosexuals and their ilk making hate laws, anti bully laws \\Address the GOVT, well that clearly is not happening either as we never get to face them and tell them.
OK first amendment the very first one , one of th emost important to the founding fathers for a free population has nearly been scrapped under this Govt and Obama, and the Chicago homostapo machine
er where is the stupid party? Are they looking for another war to get into to or maybe they’re meeting to get millions of illegals here so Obama takes the credit and the country is not a white right country educated anymore
Yeah, but you are. And across the pond, the sheep will as the freebies keep coming say, “it can’t happen here, my gas tank is full, my rent is beng paid, I have free food and cash for my dope nothing to worry about”. The past is returning and those in the U.S. of A will be the guests of honor this time.
the south will be fighting against slavery and tyranny just like America did in 1776 and onwards
