Amnesty to illegal aliens = constitutional ban on gay marriage.
A war president = A president who starts an illegal war on lies.
Antonin Scalia = throw a party for the accused.
Homeland Security = out a C.I.A. operative which threatens us all.
First Amendment = corral dissidents
Free elections = courts decide victor.
Compassionate conservative = bankrupt the nation for the donors.

A request to all who live away from this country. Protest during the American elections. Show your disgust with this fascist regime. Civil Disobedience has been outlawed in this country. We need your protest to sway the undecideds.

A madman escaped from a mental institution and became president of the United States. Send him back to the padded room.

This form of dissent will become non-existent soon unless this regime is forced from power.

3. When "protest zones" are created
and the protest is invisible, I call that outlawed. When the public ally owned media only champions the rulers views, I call that fascism. Should I go to bed?

4. Protest zones are not new. If you choose to go and protest outside
these areas that is called civil disobedience. By it's very nature civil disobedience may get you arrested.


"President Clinton, with protest-marred world trade talks in the background, today signed a treaty that bans the worst forms of child labor.......... Seattle police the next day changed strategies and imposed a no-protest zone around the site of WTO meetings. In addition, Seattle Mayor Paul Schell imposed a downtown curfew nightly from 7 p.m. until sunrise. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/chld02.shtml
