Of course someone will whine about losing their free-speech right to fly that rag-too damn bad!

Welcome to America, kids, Land of the Free-except if you have to register to vote, in which case the forces of the State pile up on you. The Republicans are so SHAMEless about repressing voting rights, including Gestapo tactics and lies.
