The rights of voicing your views in an orderly fassion in the nation's capital should go hand in hand. Lately it seems like everyone threatens the city in this manner when staging a protest about something. Little do the protesters realize is that most of the people who work in the city are federal workers- they will get paid anyway

Yeah but those who aren't federal workers, consist of a mix of lower income family members...who by the way NEED their job and have to be there or don't get paid and the rich. The ... troublemaker protesters (as opposed to the people doing it right) cost the poor more than they inconvenience the rich. If all of the protestors would go out and get jobs, and donate the income to their cause they could solve the problem themselves mayhap? Buuuuutttttt Nooooooooooo
they have to block our streets, harrass innocent worker types and basicly be a nuisance...The first ammendment says you can protest and speak freely...it does NOT give you the right to force people to listen or even pay attention!
