Political Stances Vs. First Amendment...
So which political party is the "peace" party? Is someone for peace necessarily against any particular candidate? I know a lot of George Bush supporters who would also consider themselves "pro peace" but they'd better not say so near the polls. They might find themselves escorted out.
TheDenverChannel.com - News - Grandmother Escorted From Polling Center Because Of Button:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A Colorado Springs woman who sported a button that read: "Grandmothers for Peace" as she cast her ballot early this week said she was pitched from the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office.
Election officials said 63-year-old Rita Ague violated a law against campaigning within 100 feet of a polling place when she tried to vote Monday.
The county's acting director of the election department said it's the law. No one is allowed to wear anything political at a polling place.
Ague, a grandmother of four, said she has been wearing the button for 10 years because she believes in peace.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado said peace isn't a political stance, and tossing Ague out of a public building was probably unconstitutional.
