I'm an attorney in AZ. I have represented 16 "street preachers" in different towns around Phoenix. All were arrested for "disorderly conduct," "trespassing" and other misdemeanors. All were on public streets; none used amplification or otherwise interfered with other's use of the streets. In many cases, the police said they were making "unreasonable noise," even though louder noises were present. Sometimes, hostile, angry protesters were present, none were arrested. In one case, the police said they had to arrest the preachers because the situation was a "near riot." We showed a video that proved it wasn't so.
All that is to show that (although none were convicted), the police are already emboldened to shut down Christian speech.

Thank you for your input.

It's truly amazing to me that the people of this country which was founded in large part because of religious persecution do not know that Christianity has been under coordinated attack for decades.

The fact that everybody believes that it can't happen in this country is one of the main reasons that makes it so easy.

It was the same in 1930's Germany. The people where still in denial when the Allies marched them in and showed them the death camps.

Knowledgeable people have been saying for the last twenty years that the true Christian church will eventually be driven underground because of government,and civil persecution.

It's happening and at a rate in the last eight or so years that's astonishing.

This country is on the brink of becoming a third world puppet state right in front of everyone's eyes.

Years ago, when I lived in Tempe, I went to a Sun Devils game. A street preacher yelled at and told me that I and my children would burn in hell because I went to a sporting event of a team with the name "Sun Devils". She was nuts.
