Obama secretly signs no free speech bill

Obama Secretly Signs No Free Speech Bill

Long gone may the days be where the people of the United States have the right to express themselves freely under the First Amendment. Obama just signed a bill into law secretly that allows for Secret Service to arrest anyone publicly protesting within their vicinity.

The bill turned law, H.R. 347, has passed through congress with little objection from either side, or the American public. This could be on account of lawmakers sneaking it through congress allowing for no real discussion on the matter until after it was passed.

The law effectively allows for secret service, or anyone under secret service protection, to dictate public demonstrations. If they find anyone to be in violation of the law, people arrested would be charged with a felony and potentially subjected to over a year in prison.

We all remember this, right:

Thank you. I have highlighted two paragraphs - sm

from the link you provided:

"As with any law, we are cognizant of any adverse impact on free speech and protest and dissent. While this law, including in its already existing form, is adverse, and serious, it is essential that those of us challenging abridgments of free speech or restrictions on dissent do so from a basis that is factual and accurate."

"It is equally important not to spread fear and inaccurate information that has the effect of chilling participation in collective action and demonstrations."

"Spreading fear and inaccurate information that has the effect of chilling participation" is precisely what the OP is doing.

I wonder if this covers calling the president names like Bozo and all the other unsavory names used by people on this message board.

Do you believe you are entitled to a government-provided bomb shelter? What's your point?

Of course not. - NK

Isn't the premise that it's the government coming after us? Why would they provide bomb shelters in that case? We'll just have to build our own, like in the 1960s when fallout shelters were in vogue.

The difference is that if you're not rich, - sm

your alternative is to die, while the rich get to continue living in these shelters that only the rich (and politicians) can afford.

it's not a secret, it's not new, and it's not a no-free-speech bill - sm

We realize it's fun to just believe anything - and then repeat it - but the unattributed excerpt is, well, baloney.

In February 2012, the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act was passed in the Senate by unanimous consent and (as HR 347) approved by the House of Representatives by a lopsided vote of 399-3; the bill was then signed into law by President Obama. This bill was an updating of an existing law, originally enacted in 1971, that restricted access to areas around the president, vice president, or any others under the protection of the Secret Service.

actually. I know Bill is a popular democratic president and all but I would have thought he would have avoided that kind of thing especially if Hillary decides to run in '16. If Obama gets re-elected and things don't improve or, God forbid, get worse, that isn't gonna help Hillary much when she runs next. I'm curious on something else as well. Is there anyone on this board who voted for Obama but actually wanted Hillary? ...

By Ramesh Ponnuru "I count three ways President Barack Obama's speech on immigration last night contradicted itself. First, there was the absolutist language he used to justify his policy -- coupled with restrictions that aren't compatible with such language.

Some very interesting info in this article.

Obama claimed the Republicans’ "Path to Prosperity" plan would cause "up to 50 million Americans … to lose their health insurance.” But that worst-case figure is based in part on speculation and assumptions. He said the GOP plan would repla ...
