Free Speach Abridged in Allegan County

PDF

Written by Christine Schwartz | 27 January 2012

Tonight (January 26, 2012) at Allegan High School, a local gathering was made to end after the chief of police decided it was unsafe for the others in the building.  Ex-Terrorist Kamal Saleen was speaking to a group of about 150 people for about 20 minutes when the announcement was made.  The attendees were shocked at the news since this event has been advertised in the area for quite some time and that there is the freedom of speech and  the freedom to assemble in the United States.

When questioned what statute he used to govern his decision, he said none, just public safety.  He stated that he was given information that Mr. Saleen has a price on his head and that there are many other people in the building.  He said it was just common sense to have the meeting end, even though there were several police in the vicinity of the meeting room.  The meeting was moved to  a local business where Mr. Saleen continued his presentation. It has also been reported that CAIR contacted the school to try to shut down the event.

-Chris Schwartz,  USTPM Allegan County Chair

NOTE:  The USTPM would like to remind Allegan County that we have a first amendment to the Constitution.  It reads, "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.  Given the fact that this was a peaceful meeting, and that no disruption ensued at the new location, the Chief of Police in Allegan should be severely reprimanded for his inept action.  He was clearly in violation of the law.

The Constitution Party Response to the State of the Union Address

By Darrell Castle
Constitution Party Vice-Chairman

Last night President Obama delivered his constitutionally required State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. The speech contained a little bit of hope and a great deal of the Obama kind of change.

The hope occurred in the opening and closing, when he reminded us of the sacrifice of the troops and how he ordered the Navy Seals to kill Osama Bin Laden. The speech also contained some truth – at least in the section that took us back to the Great Depression and WWII – and pointed out that we were once a great nation.

Hope and truth were very scarce for the rest of the speech.

The president listed many problems that confront the nation and then proposed changes for each of them. He failed to point out that virtually all of the problems happened because of government action in the first place. The speech’s proposals will make each of the problems, and the pain of dealing with them, much worse when someone finally has the courage to confront them.

His solutions are more government programs, more government spending, more government debt, and more force used against business and even other countries, with no understanding that market forces and not governments decide capital allocation.

The speech addressed taxes, trade, off-shoring of manufacturing, outsourcing of jobs, housing, energy, education, and savings from the winding down of wars.  A brief look at each of these areas follows:
