FALLSVILLE, Ark. - A longtime member of the Rainbow Family has sued the
U.S. Forest Service, saying the counterculture group shouldn't have to
obtain a permit for its annual gatherings.
The U.S. District Court lawsuit filed by Tony Nenninger, 49, a
third-year law student at the University of Missouri at Columbia,
challenges a Forest Service requirement that a group of 75 or more who
gather on Forest Service land must obtain a special-use permit.
The Rainbow Family is holding its annual peace gathering in the Ozark
National Forest in Newton County this year. Officials expect up to
10,000
people to attend the event.
The Rainbow Family has long refused to sign the permits, saying they
are
not an organized group, the lawsuit said.

"From the media's viewpoint, the truth exists only to be raped."
--a character in a sci-fi novel I just read.

Either this report is inaccurate (most likely, almost all news reports
are)
or the plaintiff is up to no good I guess.

The problem is not *why* you're required to get a permit, it's *that* you
are required to get a permit--since when can the gov's require its
official
permission for exercising one's constitutional rights? What's next, a
permit to exercise free speech? A permit to vote?

Well yeah- haven't you heard of the free speech cages? -w-

Nope. Please tell.

Lived in a cave the past few years? The US Gummint has actually set
up chain-link pens to quaranteen political protestors and called 'em
"Free Speech Zones." Stupid? Well duh! Yet they did it.
