The National Park Service is asking for the public’s opinion on proposed revisions to Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 7.96 for the National Mall, President’s Park and other national parks in the Washington, D.C. area, proposing a First Amendment permit for those locations.
Yes, you read that right a “First Amendment permit” with regulations is being proposed in Washington D.C., which could potentially set a precedent for anyone who wants to stand up for a cause elsewhere in the United States.
The Park Service states that the modifications would maintain opportunities for people to hold special events and exercise their right to demonstrate while proposing ridiculous regulations that are meant to “protect the iconic landmarks, views and grounds for use and enjoyment of citizens and visitors from around the globe.”
“From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the Ellipse —D.C.’s national parks have always served as a stage for groups wanting their voices heard. The role the National Park Service plays in facilitating these groups’ First Amendment rights—regardless of their views—is not something we take lightly,” said acting National Capital Regional Director Lisa Mendelson-Ielmini. “These proposed changes would provide much needed clarity to regulations while ensuring those unalienable rights remain. They will also ensure that iconic viewsheds are left unobstructed for the millions of people who visit every year to experience them. We have a great opportunity to improve the ways we make these special places accessible while preserving them for future generations. We encourage everyone to review the proposal and share their thoughts.”

The National Mall and President’s Park are regarded as premier civic and symbolic spaces in the United States and the volume and complexity of permit requests has increased dramatically over the years.
Each year, the National Park Service issues an average of 750 permits for First Amendment demonstrations, and an additional 1,500 permits for special events in and around D.C. More individuals and groups seek to use these iconic locations for demonstrations or events such as concerts and festivals.
The proposed 94-page rule is intended to provide permit applicants with more certainty about where they can hold events while protecting iconic statues, and memorials around D.C.
As written earlier in this article, if this passes and is enacted into law, there could be a coming precedent and new regulations passed on the First Amendment. Specifically regarding the “right” to assemble or protest for a cause.

“….The National Park Service is asking for the public’s opinion on proposed revisions……proposing a First Amendment permit for those locations…..”
No one give a rat’s rectum about your opinion on the matter. There is going to be a restriction on your first article rights in the locations mentioned, which will quickly spread to other areas once the public has grown to accept it.
Americans don’t defend their rights, so their rights will disappear; it’s that simple.
It’s just a question of how much tyranny and abuse American will endure before they remember where their testicles are, and the way in which psychological castration is being performed en masses via the LGBT agenda, we may just suffer the tyranny until it kills us.
If you’re not ready to kill and die for your rights, they will vanish, and vanish quickly, because that whole “Bill of Rights” thing is just too goddamn inconvenient for tyrants, who are mustering all their forces against it right now.
The bastards always grinding away at our rights, always looking for some little niche or crack they might exploit, day by day and night by night. They never stop.
There is only one way to stop them dead in their tracks, but that would be against THEIR human rights.
This video represents an extension of the criminals in DC & the states as they are the up front thugs thugging on us ultimately protecting the criminals of states and feds.. They care not about our human rights as demonstrated in the video. Do animals have human rights? No. Since the criminals in DC & the states are behaving as animals, and it’s all documented, can they truthfully claim, “their human rights.”
Kind of helps if I leave the link to the video. http://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/baltimore-cop-suspended-after-horrific-video-showed-him-beat-innocent-mans-face-to-a-pulp/231187
Yeah, yeah, yeah… keep on writing sh#t down on paper. Never known a paper cut to be fatal yet.
Unless you’re a hemophiliac.
