Subject: Freedom of Assembly not for ALL

The right of assembly, guaranteed in the First Amendment, "That the people have the right peaceably to assemble for their common good . . ." This written commitment to freedom of assembly has its origins in English law of centuries ago.




This is incredible to say the least!
This article below has to do with freedom of Assembly which every person in this country has a right to do.
If we didn't have this freedom of assembly as granted by our Constitutioin then no one other than
the main stream accepted groups would be able to meet.
I guess it shows where this country is heading....

The biased, dirty, lying Memphis Commercial Appeal Newspaper

The following is a letter we received from a journalist who attended
Dr. David Duke's press conference on Thursday, November 6th.

I am a journalist who attended Dr. David Duke's press conference
today and I was shocked by the biased newspaper article I saw on the
Commercial Appeal website about it. I can't write about it in the
publication I work for because I would lose my job for simply telling
the truth about this matter.

I don't agree with the politics of David Duke, but I consider myself
a real journalist who aspires to write honestly and not bring my own
prejudices to my work. I treat everyone, whether I agree with them or
not with the same degree of respect and fairness. That's why I
referred to Dr. David Duke with the "Dr." title, just as my articles
on Dr. Martin Luther King refer to him with "Dr." because that is his
proper title. Dr. Duke is a PhD just as Dr. Martin Luther King was.

The Commercial Appeal article headlined: "Duke says white power
conference set for new location." In actual fact, Dr. Duke does not
and has never used the slogan, "White Power." The first thing Dr.
Duke did at the press conference was to point out that he wasn't a
"White Power" advocate but a white civil rights advocate. He also
clearly stated he was not a "white supremacist" but believed in equal
rights for all "even for white people." He contends that Whites face
widespread racial discrimination in affirmative action hiring,
promotions, scholarships and college admissions, and that government
immigration policies will damage the long term, intrinsic interests
of whites. The EURO president also said that there are thousands of
groups in America that openly promote the interests of African
Americans, Mexican Americans and Jewish Americans, so why shouldn't
Whites have the right to defend their rights and heritage.

He went on to relate that his original conference with over 100 rooms
rented at the Whispering Woods Hotel was canceled after threats on
the life of the Hotel Manager and his wife and children, and after
Desoto county declared a State of Emergency. He said that America is
not free when terrorist threats can prevent Americans from exercising
their rights to assemble peaceably and speak freely. One of the
scheduled conference speakers, a English-fluent human rights attorney
from Moscow, Russia, Masha Vallachenko, expressed her shock at the
cancellation saying, "I had always believed that America was the land
of the free, but now I am not so sure."

Reporting on the cancellation of the original meeting, the Commercial
Appeal reporter wrote,

"The European-American Unity and Rights Conference was scheduled at
the Whispering Woods Hotel and Conference Center in Olive Branch, but
the hotel later canceled the contract after the nature of the
conference came to light and controversy soon followed."

No, the conference was canceled after the hotel received terroristic
threats and after a State of Emergency was declared in Desoto County
by the Sheriff's Office.

There has been no outrage by the media or by authorities at this
provocation. I wonder what the Commercial Appeal would be writing if
a NAACP national conference would have been canceled by White
terrorist threats? The outrage would have been national if not world
wide. The FBI would have certainly sent a task force down to
uncover and prosecute the violators of civil rights.

Once The Drury Inn found out that the press planned to interview
David Duke in his hotel room at 2 pm today, they refused to allow it.
Dr. Duke honored the hotel's request and met with the press
meeting outside on public property. Later, the Drury Inn kicked Dr.
Duke out of the hotel completely, saying that he couldn't stay at the
Drury Inn because the hotel had received threats. I wonder what the
reaction to all this would have been if Jesse Jackson had been kicked
out of the Drury Inn.

None of this was reported by the Commercial Appeal, in fact they
didn't even mention the cause of the cancellation of Duke's
conference: terrorist threats against this organization and the
hotel. America is now allowing punks who make threats to take away
our most precious constitutional rights of freedom of speech and
freedom of assembly. The human rights lawyer from Russia, had every
right to be shocked by the fact that we are no longer the land of the
free, and we Americans have every reason to be ashamed.

Through all this, David Duke and EURO will meet somewhere in the
Memphis area on Saturday and Sunday.
