Perhaps the protest laws are different in that state, if so, then its none of our business unless we live in that state.
Protest laws do not vary from state to state since they are a product of the 1st Amendment, the Supremacy Clause and the 14th Amendment. There may be some local restrictions regarding permits etc, but the right to protest on a public sidewalk even in front of a persons residence is protected speech. But on this point I agree whole heartedly with Calvinist, it is exceedingly gauche to do so.

The petition for public gatherings are different from state to state and municipality to municipality.
In one city, you may simply need to give 24 hour notice, in others you may require you a 72 hour notice.
That doesn't mean you are being denied the right to assemble, it just means that your right to assemble is made to fit within guidelines for the public good as a whole.
I do not believe people should protest in front of people's homes, but then I didn't think those "right-wing" nuts should have been protesting at funerals either. Legal maybe, but extremely insensitive in either case.
Is it okay to protest at people's homes? Does the homeowner or their neighbors have any recourse or does it depend upon what state you are in?
Protesters can be arrested or dispersed for plenty of other things other than for protesting like trespassing,public noise levels,verbal abuse and other forms of harassment,etc.

I see no problem targeting politicians no matter where they go. Just as long as you aren't trespassing.
