What do you think of HR347 that Obama signed into law in March?
This is a new law signed by Obama in early March 2012 which makes it illegal to protest in his presence or in any politician's presence. Regardless of where you stand politically, this is very scary. The law means that wherever Obama or any politician is you do not have a right to ask him/them anything you want to. His secret service can have you arrested, fined and imprisoned for more than a YEAR if you ask him something he or a politician doesn't like or doesn't want to answer.
The government deliberately made the language of H.R. 347 vague and overly broad so as to allow wiggle room for Federal authorities to potentially abuse civil and human rights under the color of authority. While the recently enacted and also vaguely worded NDAA poses a threat to your 4th, 5th and 6th Amendment rights, the newest attack of vague language is aimed at your 1st amendment rights of Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly and Freedom to Petition. As currently worded, it might as well have been called the ‘Federal We’re Too Important To Be Annoyed By Your Protest Act of 2011′ because it effectively outlaws protests near people who are ‘authorized’ to be protected by the Secret Service. In 1998, Bill Clinton signed Presidential Decision Directive 62 establishing the National Special Security Events, or NSSE, a directive making the Secret Service responsible for security at designated events, including presidential nominating conventions. Other events under NSEE include summits

It's important to note — contrary to some reports — that H.R. 347 doesn't create any new crimes, or directly apply to the Occupy protests. The bill slightly rewrites a short trespass law, originally passed in 1971 and amended a couple of times since, that covers areas subject to heightened Secret Service security measures.
These restricted areas include locations where individuals under Secret Service protection are temporarily located, and certain large special events like a presidential inauguration. They can also include large public events like the Super Bowl and the presidential nominating conventions (troublingly, the Department of Homeland Security has significant discretion in designating what qualifies as one of these special events).
The original statute, unchanged by H.R. 347,made certain conduct with respect to these restricted areas a crime, including simple trespass, actions in or near the restricted area that would "disrupt the orderly conduct of Government," and blocking the entrance or exit to the restricted area.
This is from THE ACLU!!!!
You need to do a bit more research here.

Richard Nixon originally signed this into law.

What I don't like is the Department of Homeland Security has significant discretion in designating what qualifies as one of these special events.

H.R. 347 did make one noteworthy change, which may make it easier for the Secret Service to overuse or misuse the statute to arrest lawful protesters.

That's not a new law, its a renewal of a law that's over 40 years old. Enough with the hysterics, please.
