from the facebook page of justing amash:

Later today, we're scheduled to vote on H R 347, which makes it a crime to accidentally get too close to a government official who has Secret Service protection. It also bans protests that disrupt government activities. When will Congress stop acting like a ruling class and start acting like public servants?

If this bill comes to a roll call vote (rather than a voice vote), it's likely to pass with overwhelming support, as it did when it first came through the House in 2011. Only Paul Broun, Ron Paul, and I voted "no" on this bill last February:

The only reason that a goverment has to fear the "legal citizen" is when they are up to no good. Looks like they are up to no good and are scared.

After the Tucson shooting I remember seeing a federal bill that would make it illegal to carry within 1,000 feet of a congressperson.
