Georgia Passes Laws Limiting Protests Sun Apr 18, 1:34 PM ET By RUSS BYNUM, Associated Press Writer
BRUNSWICK, Ga. - Robert Randall never knew free speech could cost so much — in dollars and in compromises — until he tried to organize a large-scale, peaceful demonstration for this summer's G-8 summit.
The coastal city of Brunswick, where Randall hopes to gather up to 10,000 people to protest the world leaders' summit, passed a law last month that places conditions on public demonstrations.
Organizers of protests like Randall's "G-8 Carnival" must put up refundable deposits equal to the city's estimated cost for clean up and police protection. Demonstrations may only last 2 hours, 30 minutes. Signs and banners may not be carried on sticks that might be brandished as weapons. And the signs may not be larger than 2-by-3 feet.
"This law would not exist if the G-8 was not coming here," said Randall, 51, a local therapist who has attended demonstrations since the Vietnam War. "It makes it impossible to express oneself through assembly or speech on public property unless you have money."
Thousands of anti-globalization protesters are expected June 8-10 when President Bush (news - web sites) hosts the leaders of Britain, Japan, Germany, Italy, France, Canada and Russia on secluded Sea Island.

As I posted on another board my guess the big trouble starts in June.. My predicition was right...about the stopping of the protests.. That town is surrounded by a Nuclear Submarine base in St. Marys /Kingsland... and Mayport/Jacksonville They are holding people back from protests and I said back in August this was going to be a mess.. Hide and watch..This is not going to be taken well by other countries and being held back to Atlanta or Savannah..250 and closest 100 miles away is not going to cut it ! This is is where we go around and around.....Maybe this is the first time ever we will have a martial law implemented and seen !Possibly a preview of New York's GOP Convention. Hide and watch ! This is BIG...And I am stuck right here in Ga. looking on !

3. Where are all of these regulations |
|
found in the Constitution or Bill of Rights? My copies of these documents do not show any of these financial hardships and limits on the right to assemble peacefully... where can I find complete copies of the Constitution and Bill of Rights online? I need to see the same copies that the Feds are using. /sarcasm

8. CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW |
|
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Might want to memorize this before it's entirely removed from our constitution. Fuck Georgia, and shame on them.
