    Yeah.... Protesting is now illegal. (or will be soon) Last night the house passed H.R. 347 in a landslide 388-to-3 vote that makes it a felony to protest anywhere there is a Secret Service protected individual.

    I guess the Bill of Rights was to confusing for the morons in DC so they are just going to nullify it one piece at a time.

    I live in BC, Canada. And starting monday, every school in BC will be shut down due to teachers protesting and on strike, for about a week or so... But after this week, it will officially be made illegal as well, teachers will get fined 400$ per day they strike, which is insane because they don't even make half of that in a day while at work, not to mention how they make nothing at all while striking

    The 1%ers are still hard at it. They want no unions,no minimum wage,no trying to protect yourself from getting fired for any reason=0 job security,no raises-ever,no insurance provided,no protesting---they want it all. And ALL the money too. I'm afraid when the spring comes and Occupy becomes active--there's going to be some bad shit coming down. I guess we don't need no stinkin' bill of rights.

    This is rediculous. I fucking hate the world we live in. Peace can`t be tolerated because we speak up for the truth. We`re ruining the government`s secret image by exposing them for who they are, & that`s pure evil.

    How can police think they are doing the right thing by arresting these people while protecting such a corrupt government. How can you be so dumb to follow such insane orders.

    We need to stop expecting the people we put in government to stand up for us as they've shown time and again that they will not- despite all the campaign promises they make. The system itself has become corrupt beyond the point of repair.
