VETO TRESPASS BILL/HR 347 AND SAVE THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Created by A.H. on February 28, 2012

"Congress shall make NO law...ABRIDGING...the RIGHT of the PEOPLE peaceably to ASSEMBLE, and to PETITION the Government for a redress of grievances." -First Amendment

Mr. President, you swore an inauguration oath that you "will to the best of [your] ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

HR 347 has passed through Congress. It states that the American people will no longer be allowed to peaceably assemble to petition the government when certain government officials are nearby, whether they know it or not. This is a clear violation of the First Amendment, which states that this right is not to be ABRIDGED:
a·bridge
to REDUCE or LESSEN in duration, scope, authority, etc.; diminish; CURTAIL

Stay faithful to your duty as President and VETO this bill!
