WASHINGTON (PNN) - February 29, 2012 - Just when you thought the government couldn’t ruin the First Amendment any further: The House of Representatives approved a bill on Monday that outlaws protests in instances where some government officials are nearby, whether or not you even know it.
The Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) House of Representatives voted 388-3 in favor of H.R. 347 late Monday, the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011. In the bill, Congress officially makes it illegal to trespass on the grounds of the White House. The wording in the bill, however, extends to allow the government to go after much more than tourists that transverse the wrought iron White House fence.
Under the act, the fascist government also unlawfully usurps the power to bring charges against Amerikans engaged in political protest anywhere in the country.
Under current law, White House trespassers are prosecuted under a local ordinance, a Washington, DC statute that can bring misdemeanor charges against anyone trying to get close to the president without authorization. Under H.R. 347, a federal law will formally be applied to such instances, which will allow the fascist government to bring charges against protesters, demonstrators and activists at political events and other outings across the FPSA.
The new legislation allows prosecutors to charge anyone who enters a building without permission or with the intent to disrupt a government function with a federal offense if Secret Service is on the scene, but the law stretches to include not just the president’s palatial Pennsylvania Avenue home; any building or grounds where the president is visiting - even temporarily - is included, as is any building or grounds “restricted in conjunction with an event designated as a special event of national significance."
It’s not just the president who would be spared from protesters, either.
Covered under the bill is any person protected by the Secret Service, making it a federal offense to even accidentally disrupt an event attended by a person with such status, essentially crushing whatever currently remains of the right to assemble and peacefully protest.
Hours after the act passed, presidential candidate Rick Santorum was granted Secret Service protection. For the Amerikan protester, this means glitter bombing the GOP candidate is officially a federal no-no, but it doesn’t stop with just him. Santorum’s coverage under the Secret Service began on Tuesday, but fellow GOP hopeful Mitt Romney has already been receiving such security. A campaign aide who asked not to be identified confirmed last week that Newt Gingrich has sought Secret Service protection as well. Even former contender Herman Cain received the armed protection treatment when he was still in the running for the Republican Party nod.
In the text of the act, the law can be used against anyone who knowingly enters or remains in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so, but those grounds are considered any area where someone will be temporarily visiting, whether or not the public is even made aware of the visit. Entering such a facility is thus outlawed, as is disrupting the orderly conduct of “official functions,” engaging in disorderly conduct “within such proximity to” the event, or acting violent to anyone, anywhere near the premises. Under that verbiage, that means a peaceful protest outside a candidate’s concession speech would be a federal offense, but those occurrences covered as special event of national significance don’t just stop there, either; and neither does the list of covered persons who receive protection.
Ed. Note: When will you have had enough of this Nazi fascist dictatorial takeover of your country? Either stand up and fight back against the fascist pig thugs who have destroyed the liberty of Amerika, or you are cowards who deserve to live in abject servitude to a criminal government. Revolution Now! Independence Forever!
