"First Amendment Rights Eradication Act," was passed by the House on Tuesday.

U.S. House passes bill giving the federal government new and sweeping powers to bring charges against Americans engaged in political protest anywhere in the country. Critics claim the bill, HR 347, would make free speech a felony, and restrict political protest.


HR 347, the “Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011,” also known as "First Amendment Rights Eradication Act," was passed by the House on Tuesday. Some speculate the bill is an attempt, at least in part, to silence and intimidate the Occupy Movement that began with Occupy Wall Street.

The bill makes it a federal offense to disrupt or protest at any place or event attended by any person with secret service protection. The bill would make it a criminal offense to trespass on any "restricted buildings and grounds," and would seriously hamper any future political protests near the White House. However, the bill goes much farther than simply protecting the president.

Now if this doesn't open your eyes to the complicity of both the Republican and Democratic Parties, I don't know what will. While you fight against each other, OUR Representatives are Taking our FREEDOMS AWAY...

Only three House Members were AMERICAN Enough to vote AGAINST this Bill.HR 347 passed with overwhelming support. Only three House members voted against the bill: Paul Broun (R-GA), Justin Amash (R-MI), and Ron Paul (R-TX).


Those that will take your Freedoms like nothing better than to see Americans fight among one another, unless it's AMERICANS that do nothing at all.

Perhaps Obama is not yet willing to give up his throne in Washington D.C. ?

We will just have to see just what his need for creating and expanding these authorities are ?

Or just what's up his sleeve ?


The Obama administration appears to be preparing for a long drawn out war in the Middle East, or at the very least, an expected crisis that will require the need to override Constitutional authority and claim dominion over all resources in the United States under the guise of national defense. With the rise in Disaster Preparedness growing for both individuals and states leading up to yesterday's Executive Order, the mood of the nation points strongly towards some event or disaster that will require massive preparations on a national as well as local scale.

Nothing new here. FDR did it in the 40's.

Preparing for a big one? Beggining with a strike on Iran or potentially a strike by Iran. Then others jump in, Russia, China......Could get ugly. If this is the case, then such preparations only make good sense. I'll have to dig deeper and ponder this for a while. I'll have lots of time to torment the wingnuts over the next few weeks.

Of course someone is probably already preparing a post detailing some sinister plot by the government to attack-------us. Watch, it's coming up shortly.

Perhaps the gummint expects that the hoi poloi will finally be bringing out the pitchforks and torches? The rape of the country by the top 1% has become a little to blatant of late.
