To: President Donald Trump
President Obama, Don't sign H.R. 347
Veto H.R. 347 and protect our people's right to free speech and peaceful assembly.
Why is this important?
H.R. 347 was recently passed by both houses making it a federal offense to "disrupt" an event where a person covered by the secret service is in attendance. This disruption doesn't even have to be located on the actual property, the amendment extends the reach to "or within such proximity to." It extends the scope of situations where our rights to peaceful assembly are already restricted, "is or will be temporarily visiting." We want our freedom of speech! We want our right to peaceably assemble! Don't let our government take those rights away from us. Ask your president to veto H.R. 347.
