naked cap: Criminalizing Peaceful Pipeline Protests: Are Oil Billionaires Trying to Undermine Our First Amendment Rights?
Butofcourse they are. What did you expect? But they're not going to like how citizens deal with being silenced. Very ignorant, short-term pocketbook thinking from people who don't live in these areas. Here in the West, both Democratic and Republican ideologues are weapons-bearers, and NIMBY is just as powerful.
Just sayin'. You companies better off learning to deal with protest - the alternatives will be decidedly worse. Look at the Bundys, for a recent example. Peaceful protests are hard to manage, sure. But armed ones, with self-righteous angry folk, are another kettle of fish. And it's not clear your bills will stand up in Federal courts.
