Police Trample First Amendment at Healthcare Reform Rally

I wish I could say I can't believe it, but unfortunately this seems to be the direction our country is heading in. Stacy Nason from Breakdown of America was attending an Acorn rally to oppose the health care reform being railroaded though by the Obama Administration. Acorn (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) supports the legislation and from the video below did not appreciate any opposition, going so far as to compel a police officer to interfere with Ms. Nason's (and others) first amendment rights of free speech and freedom to assemble. I have to say, "WHAT THE HELL!". Since when do the police work for Acorn. One lady not wearing an Acorn t-shirt was told she could not stand amidst the Acorn people. ON A PUBLIC SIDEWALK!!!

Then when Ms. Nason was merely having a peaceful and amiable conversation regarding the proposed reform with one of the supporters the officer, at the behest of individuals wearing Acorn t-shirts, approached the gentleman she was speaking with and told him "we don't want anyone interacting..." when the man politely rebuffed the officer's request he was led away from the group for a private lecture. Ms. Nason received her own lecture from a rent-a-cop. I don't care which side of this topic you support, this kind of interference with our individual constitutional rights is just plain wrong not to mention illegal. Please watch the video below and visit Breakdown of America and show some support for our rights.
