On my phone, so I don't have a link, but I read about this on a friend's Facebook page. From what I have read it makes even peaceful protest a felony if done under certain conditions. The main ones being basically if the secret service is present protecting "important" political figures. I only read one article, and it seemed pretty slanted, but thought it strange I hadn't heard much about it anywhere, including here.

Re: HR 347, anti-Occupy bill
From reading the bill, it seems to be about people willfully and intentionally interrupting government business and that you cannot impede or block any building the President or Vice President is in. I don't see anything extremely controversial in the bill myself. Thats why I always read bills for myself and don't take the word of hysterical blog posts, which seems to happen a lot on both right and left blogs.

Re: HR 347, anti-Occupy bill
Read the bill.
"‘(1) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both, if--
‘(A) any person, during and in relation to the offense, uses or carries a deadly or dangerous weapon or firearm; or
‘(B) the offense results in significant bodily injury as defined by section 2118(e)(3); and
‘(2) a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, in any other case."
The only way you get up to 10 years is if you use a deadly weapon or cause bodily harm, otherwise it's a misdermeanor. I'm not saying I necessarily support the bill, but it also doesn't do what some are claiming. If they try and use this bill as an excuse to ban or break up peaceful protests, then I'll definitely have a huge problem with it. But at the same time, I don't see anything extremely egregious in it. If I'm wrong, and this is used as a pretext to stop protesting, I'll be the first to admit I should have been upset when this bill passed.

Well, you see, my atheism logic says that since your a fundie, that implies that your a relgizus extremist, which implies that your muslem, which implis that your a terrorist. So yes, you deserve it.
