Monday is the end of the comment period for a sweeping National Park Service proposal that will have a dramatic effect on the ability of Americans to protest in sight of their government.

Under the proposed new rules, protests around the White House and the National Mall would require permits, protestors would be barred from the sidewalk north of the White House. The proposal also seeks public comment on charging protesters fees for permits to gather.

You can and should comment.

I submitted my comment. It took about 5 minutes.

We should all vote, and we should provide candid feedback to government about things like this proposed rule change.

I don't know or care about your politics. If your party or politicians you agree with are in power, just remember that someday they won't be. Anyone trying to take your freedoms away should be a red flag to all.
