Freedom of Speech at the Lowell Folk Festival

Folks, its a good thing I got this on "tape," over wise you may not believe it. There I was trying to collect signatures, when the park police came and in formed me I was in a "non-free speech area." I didn't realize the first amendment had been repealed. But, a few minutes later, in comes Republican candidate Jim Ogonowski. Then things get interesting. Watch the video and see!

Why would someone standing up for free speech be labeled a commie? Please, think before you comment...

Thank you, not being the next Michael Moore is a great compliment! I'd rather been known as someone who tells the truth and loves our country

This is the updated version of the video I posted yesterday.  All that has been changed was a few typos.

It's the same as when you go to the elections. So, in short, don't vote for this jerk if he's running in your district. (If I lived in it, I wouldn't.)

I couldn't watch all of this drivel. I was pointed her by the "park police" you were badgering. Folks who are watching, the only reason she claimed the area he was in was a "non-free speech area", as this politician claims, was because she was verbally berated by this man. The only reason that there is an area for people to stand and collect signatures is to allow others to enjoy the festival without being harassed- precisely as she said.
