Freedom of Speech...a thing of the past ?

[Ms Grumpy]

I usually really try to stay away from political things on this site. But this has really got me upset.

The United States of America is known as the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave". Lately I have had to ask, is that really true ? We ask young men and women to put their lives in danger and enlist in the Military. The government then sends them to foreign countries, puts them in danger and ask them to do things no human being should ever do. Then when they get home they are abandoned. Our vets are homeless, hungry, in need of medical attention and they don't get the help they need.

Now it has come to my attention that last week our President, in secret, signed into law "HR 347" which makes protesting a felony. This law bans protesting near Secret Service Agents and gives them the freedom to determine if a person should be arrested.

Freedom of speech...it is a thing of the past ?

Check out this video which talks about this law.
