People have been complaining about this sort of thing for a long long time. Long before Obama was even a US Senator. Right here on GFY even.

So yeah, this administration may be adding to existing laws that sure look to be infringing on the right to free speech. They're adding regulations similar to how other rights are regulated. Sometimes they seem to go too far.

I read a blog yesterday where a guy was ranting on Bush because in sequoia national park there is a caged area labeled a free speech zone. He said you had to pay a fee to use the zone, and pay additional fees if you wanted to pass out paper flyers. It seems pretty f'd up to see a national park sign marking a caged in "free speech zone", thats for sure. But why don't we all concentrate on the body where the laws are made? Congress.
