Only days after clearing Congress, US President Barack Obama signed his name to H.R. 347 on Thursday, officially making it a federal offense to cause a disturbance at certain political events — essentially criminalizing protest in the States.

Under H.R. 347, which has more commonly been labeled the Trespass Bill by Congress, knowingly entering a restricted area that is under the jurisdiction of Secret Service protection can garner an arrest. The law is actually only a slight change to earlier legislation that made it an offense to knowingly and willfully commit such a crime. Under the Trespass Bill’s latest language chance, however, someone could end up in law enforcement custody for entering an area that they don’t realize is Secret Service protected and “engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct” or “impede[s] or disrupt[s] the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.”
So now, even if you don't know secret service is there, and you do something THEY DEEM is disruptive, they can lock your ass up.
I hope for his sake he doesn't get re-elected. And he shouldn't. He isn't eligible. I would bet money he is a Muslim. He wants to turn this country over to the Islamic Muslims. And on and on.
How many reasons do we need?
Presidential hopefuls Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are now officially covered under Secret Service protection, making it a federal offense to disrupt a campaign stop. That means whether it’s by way of a glitter bomb protest or causing a disturbance on the same Holiday Inn hotel floor that Santorum is staying in, doing such could cause a bit of a legal battle for the persons involved.
America, you are in your last death throes. We have been sold out, abandoned, slapped in the face, mocked, ridiculed, laughed at, and everyone who is not in government service is a second class citizen. Maybe third.
We know what needs to be done. The only two questions left are, who is going to do it and when.
This country and the people in it have fallen.
Are there any real patriots left out there?
Will the Obama Black Panthers fall under the same law this Fall??
To add to 5:47's comment-How about the occupy Wall Street idiots? I bet they will get a pass.

Don't worry. Those 'idiots' and others like them will soon not be able to protest.
Will that make you happy? But be careful, you may not be allowed to express it.
Intolerant buffoon.
Isn't this what the rabid right-wing wanted all along during the Bush years.
Stop whining and be happy about your win. Whenever you have the White House again you will sing the praises of this.
Unless you guys have suddenly become interested in human rights and Amendments other than the 2nd.
Nah. That can't be it.
