Dayton closes Washington office over safety concerns

Wednesday, October 13th, 2004

CBS news is reporting about Minnesota Senator Dayton closing his Washington office because a ‘top secret’ intelligence report made him fear for his safety.

Dayton said he could not give details of the classified intelligence report, which he said Frist, a Tennessee Republican, presented to senators at a briefing two weeks ago.

Dayton is also quoted as saying

“I would not bring my two sons to the Capitol between now and the election”

Shouting obsceneties? OK. Shouting the Gospel? Go to Jail.

Agape Press

is reporting that police arrested 11 Christians last Sunday in Pennsylvania for exercising their First Amendment rights at a homosexual pride celebration. The six men and five women from Repent America were jailed and charged under hate crimes legislation after attempting to do evangelistic outreach at “Outfest,” a homosexual event that was being held on the public streets and sidewalks of Philadelphia.

Check this out — they obeyed all of the laws.

And then. . . .

The Repent America representatives have been charged with criminal conspiracy, possession of instruments of crime, reckless endangerment, ethnic intimidation, riot, failure to disperse, disorderly conduct, and obstructing highways. The Christian group members are scheduled to be arraigned on October 18, 2004 at 8:00 a.m. in the Philadelphia Criminal Justice Center.
