39. So you never heard of bill H.R. 347?
Thu May 24, 2012, 05:39 PM
May 2012

Even the lone Republican that voted against it says this about it:
"Rep. Justin Amash wrote on his Facebook page. “[H.R. 347] expands current law to make it a crime to enter or remain in an area where an official is visiting even if the person does not know it’s illegal to be in that area and has no reason to suspect it’s illegal.”

Amash, Paul Broun, a Georgia Republican, and Ron Paul were the lone dissenting voices opposed to this bill, which is being called the “First Amendment Rights Eradication Act” designed specifically to counter the Occupy movement and other political groups opposed to the bankster regime in control of the Congress and the presidency. Democrats have characterized opposition to the bill as “a whole lot of kerfuffle over nothing.”

http://www.infowars.com/h-r-347-another-step-in-the-elimination-of-the-first-amendment/

which does seem to conflict with the Bill of Rights:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The police working with the Secret Service can designate whatever security zone however wide and area around an official event - so as to not embarrass the politicians with being able to even see or hear any protest, and they can round up anyone who enters that zone whether they even know about it or not.

It has nothing to do with the police having a presence. And why would you even bring up "stomping"? Is this a common occurance? That seems more likely to occur under this new draconian law if the police attack and cause a stampede.

but Obama signed it so its just great by you.
