On September 6, 2007, Adam Kokesh (IVAW) and Tina Richards (Grassroots America) were arrested in Washington, D.C. for defying a federal government ban on posting promotional material for the September 15th Antiwar Rally, to be held in this city. The rally is sponsored by the ANSWER coalition. The arrests took place at the corner of H. St. and Jackson Place NW, near Lafayette Park, just north of the White House. Mr. Kokesh is the co-chair elect of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. Marine Mom Richards is the CEO of Grassroots America. The activists placed promotional posters on a traffic box, which supposedly falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Interior and the National Parks Service. Recently, the District of Columbia government imposed draconian fines on the ANSWER coalition for placing political literature around town. As a result, the ANSWER coalition has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court challenging the Constitutionality of the local government's action.

He is with the ANSWER coalition's LA division. Mr. Thompson is also an attorney.

shes so full of shit her son doesn't need her to speak for him. most guys in the Corps don't talk about what they do . and kokesh, that damn mother fucker, should be supporting his brothers in arms. as to first amendment rights, i think that people like kokesh and richards have none as soon as they assualt the integrity of american troops.

also realize, there is a legal difference between "a Person" & "human being"a Person has no rights, but humans do.basically, because a human can not lawfully prove his age, the legal system creates a "legal fiction" called a person. and when the government enforces statues and not laws upon someone, they are really acting upon that legal fiction.Whats more? a human can choose to remove the "person" and claim that statues have no authority over you.

The police receive military training today, and the military is designed to destroy its enemies.So if the police are acting like the military, then who is the enemyThe PublicThanks whoUSA has been a police state, and the 911 anti terrorism laws are used against US citizens, not terroristsThe real terrorists are in Washington.

Ok, first off this is not a violation of the 1st Amendment. You glued a freeking poster on city property. next time use a stick and put it a lawn or something. You can't deface a city traffic box, it's basicly like spraypainting it, it doesn't matter if is biodegradable or not. still vandalism type of action.But I like your cause :)
