For the first time ever, the Federal Government wants to charge protesters for demonstrating in the Nation’s Capital. This is just one of the changes contained in a new proposal issued by the Trump Administration for the National Park Service.

Besides paying for a permit, protesters may have to have to pay things they didn’t even ask for, such as barricades and fencing and extra charges to protest is just the beginning. New regulations could limit the size of signs protesters could carry … and where. ​
