Urgent!

The Guardian published an article yesterday (link here) about how the Trump Administration is trying to severely limit and outright prohibit where demonstrations and protests can take place outside the White House, on the National Mall, and in front of Donald Trump's hotel on Pennsylvania avenue, among other DC locations.

This is nothing short of a brazen attempt to violate constitutionally protected free speech rights. It's no surprise that Trump's presence in the Oval Office has increased protests and picketing outside the White House. It's also well documented how thin his skin is when it comes to criticism.

A lone person standing in front of the White House with a small sign and not part of an organized protest would be subject to arrest under this proposal if approved.

The fact that Trump is trying to stop protests in front of his hotel is an appalling attempt to use the government to police his private property.

Any American can speak out against this proposal and submit brief comments in writing online. Simply visit the proposal webpage (link here) and click on the blue "Comment Now!" box in the upper right hand corner of the page.
