Yet another assault on the First Amendment
Maybe you know about the march on Washington scheduled for this weekend, September 15th. The organizers' purposes are to stop the war and impeach Bush and Cheney.
Well, the Powers that Be in Washington know about it, and they would rather that you didn't. Last month, the organizers were threatened with a $10,000 fine for putting up posters with adhesive that allegedly did not meet regulations. So they announced a press conference at which they placed posters on public property with media present.
D.C. police broke up the news conference by march organizers last week, with mounted officers charging on the media present to disperse them. You can see that here.
Thank you, Agence France Presse and You Tube, without which we would never have known about this.
