Government squashes Nantucket Tea Party

We dont want politics on Main Street.
The Nantucket Tea Party will be one of more than a thousand such protest events to be held across the nation on Independence Day.
The organizers were all set. They were given permission by the Towns head of Park and Recreation. After the local paper publicized the event, some members of the Nantucket Park and Recreation Commission decided to forget about the First Amendment. One local official was quoted as saying we dont want politics on Main Street. Apparently the head of Park and Recreation was overruled by the commissioners.
The Nantucket Tea Party then got permission to use a banks private property. A Town official then advised the Nantucket Tea Party that the Tea Party must obtain a permit to block the
sidewalk even though the street is closed! The Nantucket Tea Party got the Police, Fire and Public Works departments sign off on the event, but the Park and Recreation department balked.
Now the Nantucket Tea Party has been restricted to the steps of a bank. The town government will not allow the Nantucket Tea Party to be part of the Independence Day celebration on Main Street as had been planned.
Nantuckets heavy handed attempt to quash the Nantucket Tea Party is a sad commentary on what too many so-called leaders in this country think about freedom and our rights. |

As I was at Fort Niagara on the 4th, we conducted our traditional toasts to King & Regiment during our daily rum call. As we finished the toasts to the chain-of-command on the 4th, I then added the following:
"And a toast to the United States of America, our once-proud and strong Republic, and to what is left of it now."
