Hill Police Block Tea Party Activists
from Immigration Rally

If
you’ve never seen the tyrants of the capitol
police in person you really should. They are relentless and pull out
all the
stops.
Check
it out:
Capitol
Hill police are trying to block
activists attending Wednesday’s “Audit the IRS” rally from also
attending a
nearly day-long press conference on immigration, hosted by Reps. Steve
King and
Louie Gohmert. The IRS rally is on the west side of the Capitol, while
the
immigration event is on the east side. Organizers for the IRS event
were told
by Hill police that “your people” can only assemble on the west side.
Organizers were told to remove the activists from the immigration event.
Capitol
Hill police left a voicemail for Kevin
Mooneyhan, Deputy Executive Director of Tea Party Patriots, saying that
“your
people” only are permitted to assemble for the event on the west side
of the
Capitol. The activists’ presence at the immigration event on the east
side,
supposedly violates the terms of the Tea Party’s permit. Mooneyhan was
instructed to move any activists who planned on attending the Tea Party
rally
away from the immigration event.
Keep
in mind, the immigration event is hosted
by sitting members of Congress. The notion that citizens can’t attend
an event
featuring duly elected Representatives in a public space is absurd.
