Oh I'm so scared we might offend someone
All I seem to be hearing is please no violence or don't make us look like idiots.

What happens when you oppress people? Violence is usually the next step.

The Bill of rights

Amendment I

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.

If this were the case today we would not have to worry about violence.

I am not advocating violence, but if it comes down to it I will support them in anyway I can (I WANT MY CONSTITUTION BACK)!

Lets be thankful that our founding fathers weren't wishy washy.

The Bill of rights were ratified December 15, 1791 and have stood the test of time, until now.

3. Seems like the trick is to get enough attention to make a point
without being dismissed as a bunch of nuts.


You know the media would love to make everyone out to be nuts instead of people with legitimate grievances.


Making the protest more like art and less like an out-of-control mob would seem like a good thing.

I loved the thing people did with taking parts of Guernica and parading around with them.

I wish I was going....
