Dada in Federal Court 7/17 .... leads to 4 days in jail

[d_goddard]

the judge might go nuts when he sees a few blue t-shirts

I'm curious... what blue T-shirts are you talking about?

[TackleTheWorld]

They say "I support Ed & Elaine Brown.  Show me the law"

You could ask him if there's any special reason you shouldn't have contempt for his court.

Judge:	Madame, are you attempting to display contempt for this court?
Mae West:	No, your honor, I'm attempting to conceal it.

Mr. Muirhead doesn't seem to like the Browns very much.

Dada saw your idea on Ron Pauls website about dropping off some Ron Paul literature at IRS offices. Did you go to the picnic yesterday and participate in the straw poll? It was a pretty good turnout. The biggest thing Ive been doing for Ron Paul is standing in front of my local town hall with a Ron Paul banner every couple of weeks handing out his cards, etc. Response has been fantastic and the majority of people who stop have never even heard of him. Hoping just by giving out the information at least some of them will look into him and realize hes our best bet. Also if you drive down my road my 700ft of road frontage is peppered with Ron Paul signs, have actually had a bunch of people stop by and ask who he is. Word is getting out.

romak i am out West this week so i didn't go.  However i was hiking up a mountain today with my ron paul shirt on.   one of the five hikers who passed us said "nice shirt!"  I invited him to ronpaulforums.com and he said he was already familiar with it.   

thanks for carrying the signs.  have you signed up for the meetup group yet?  or u can just keep an eye on the calendar here to know what's comin up next.

YEAH!!!
Karma for you!!!

[Romak]

I check whats going on locally in that meetup group. Talked to Kate at the picnic going to pick up some 4x8 signs, just not sure whether to put them on my roof or out in front of my home Think my neighbors will think Im nuts considering Im the only person in town it seems with political signs on their lawn when the election is over a year away. The main thing Im doing right now is to tell them to vote in the primaries, youd be surprised how many people dont even realize there is a primary election. Its amazing how most are not informed at all. Ive always voted in every election even in my small town elections, etc. This is the first election where I honestly feel that we could elect the perfect candidate. It drives me to become more involved than Ive ever been. I post quite often about how I dont support Ed Brown at all but in the case of Ron Paul Im completely on board with you Dada and others who feel that this man is the answer. He may not resolve everything but its a great start. Imagine him debating Hitlery one on one. It would be awesome. I would pay to see that. Lets hope he gets that chance. Im going to do everything I can to make that happen. Have fun out west, Ive never had the pleasure of being west of Utah, must be pretty country. Just stay out of California people says it has a feel of Nazi Germany.

Pro-Constitution demonstration in Concord

Dear Editor and readers:

On Tuesday, July 17 from 8:00 - 10:00 a.m. there will be a small demonstration in front of the Federal compound/eyesore in Concord.    We'll be protesting Washington's routine violations of the Constitution, yet another of which is scheduled to occur immediately after the demo.

In apparent breach of Amendments One and Ten, Washington's local ministers will seek to inflict retribution on a local demonstrator....me.   I'm charged, essentially, with peaceably petitioning the government for a redress of grievances and then refusing to pay their "distribution of handbills" fine.   In fairness to our rattled overlords, I should note that I was leafleting in an IRS lobby, not on a street corner.  But if you can't petition the government in its lobbies, how are you to personally reach its officers?

In any event, you're invited join our demonstration.  For more details visit calendar.nhfree.com or ring me up at ______ .  We look forward to seeing you.

Looks like I won't make it out until the end of July so I won't be able to make this one.

You can't petition in the federal government's place of business in a way that will disrupt the business the building was intended for. In the case you are involved in, that would be the IRS's lobby and was the same reason that Russell was arrested for. You can petition for a redress of grievances in the office of our elected representatives (Congressmen & Senators) within proper offices hours. Some protesters were arrested there recently because they would not leave after office hours. The IRS employees are not "officers" of the federal government. You can also gather signatures for your petitions from fellow citizens upon the public sidewalks so long as you keep moving because it contains a common right of way which we all have an equal right to use so long as we do not infringe on the equal right of any other individual.

What if you don't move but aren't blocking the whole way?
