HR347 The Bill That Ends The Right To Assemble




This bill works to further outlaw the American citizen's right to assemble, and protest the way that our government is conducting business in OUR names. Please go HERE to sign a petition to have President Obama veto this bill. The anti-American laws that are being passed are forever changing the foundation upon which our nation was built upon, and it is OUR DUTY as American citizens to do everything within our power to stop it.

It is these very laws that make the terrorist the winners by default. They are stripping away our rights by using fear tactics as their sword. By taking away our rights to protest, they are leaving the American people only one choice left to keep our government a government that still belongs to the people, and in the end, when all else has failed, the final option left to us will be civil war. That may sound extreme, but ask the people in Iraq, and many other nations who have had their countries hijacked, and had no laws to protect them so that they may peaceably assemble and fight for their rights in a non-violent manner. Some people laugh and even verbally insult protesters, but it is those people who are ignorant of the value of the right to protest, and the ability it has to prevent a nation from otherwise having to wage war against it's government to achieve representation within their government. Think about it people.

Gay Marriage Ban Declared Unconstitutional By 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals


“Although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different classes of people differently. There was no such reason that Proposition 8 could have been enacted."

  "Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples," states the opinion written by Judge Stephen Reinhardt, one of the court's most liberal judges." (1) 

Finally, humanity takes another small step in the right direction. I am still amazed how willing people are to walk all over the basic human rights of smaller groups of individuals, merely because of who they are, how they feel,   or whom they love. Somehow it offends some people's sensibilities about their perception of right and wrong, and somehow, they feel they have a right to impose their will upon others, despite the pain that they cause in the process. I don't know if humanity, as a whole, will ever be able to look past themselves enough to embrace empathy, and look at life from other people's perspective. In essence, we all are the same... we all laugh, cry, love, bleed red, live, and die, we're all human beings who just want to be happy, the best way that we can. Perhaps someday, we will all be capable of seeing that the differences between us all is what keeps life intriguing, and that is truly beautiful.
