For the first time in history, the U.S. government wants demonstrators to pay to use our parks, sidewalks and streets to engage in free speech in the nation’s capital. This should be called for what it is: a protest tax.
Free speech doesn't come without responsibilities. If you you are utilizing government spaces and services I'm not sure what the issue is with holding you responsible for the expense instead of the taxpayer.
Oh geez...yeah, lets tax protests, so they are not an inconvenience to anyone!
They already have many people brainwashed when it comes to non-violent protests (even though people resorting to violence, destruction of property, etc had alot to do with America becoming a nation in the first place!) LOL
As crazy and unprofessional as Trump's presidency has been over the last 19 months, this is by far the scariest thing the Trump Administration has done yet.
The sitting president of the United States wants to tax the first amendment: freedom of speech, and Freedom to assemble peacefully.
Any group that uses a public space should clean up after itself, whether the event is a political protest or a church picnic, but this goes a lot further than asking people to do that.

Scary times we live in.
lol...What is he trying to do? Tape your mouths shut until you pony up the fees? What a laughable post. This has NOTHING at all to do with free speech. It has everything to do with being responsible for your actions (messes, protection, etc.)

If I have to pay to use a gun range or to get a pistol permit....or a hunting license......
Are any of those things restricting my 2nd amendment right?
