Capitol Hill Police Attempt to Block the Tea Party From Attending an Pro-Immigration Rally

The Tea Party has gathered in DC for an anti-IRS-targeting rally. But there was also a pro-immigration rally, featuring elected Representatives as speakers, going on at about the same time.

The Capitol Hill Police, who know who sign their checks but seem to have forgotten who actually pay their salaries, attempted to keep citizens from attending a rally in a public space featuring their elected representatives.

Capitol Hill police left a voicemail for Kevin Mooneyhan, Deputy Executive Director of Tea Party Patriots, saying that "your people" only are permitted to assemble for the event on the west side of the Capitol. The activists' presence at the immigration event on the east side, supposedly violates the terms of the Tea Party's permit. Mooneyhan was instructed to move any activists who planned on attending the Tea Party rally away from the immigration event.
Keep in mind, the immigration event is hosted by sitting members of Congress. The notion that citizens can't attend an event featuring duly elected Representatives in a public space is absurd.

The Capitol Hill Police seem to have backed off.
