Music Vs. Dept. Homeland Security
Fact:
The Department of Homeland Security (An agency enacted through the 
Patriot Act) is now demanding through enforcement from The State Fire 
Marshalls that ALL LIVE MUSIC PLAYED IN THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE A 
PERMIT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
This is an outrage to freedom and the ideals of The American people and our quickly evaporating rights. 
This is just the start to the reality of what The Department of 
Homeland Security is going to do to the American citizens.  The DHS is 
actually saying it is illegal to play music or operate a business where 
music is played for any reason without paying The Department of Homeland
 Security, and giving them much personal and private information.  If 
The DHS can regulate the performance of a song where do you think they 
will stop? The fact is they won’t!
The Department of Homeland Security does not have the jurisdiction to
 enforce laws in The United States.  They have purposefully and 
misleadingly attached themselves to The Fire Marshall to circumvent 
American constitutional rights and automatically give themselves 
jurisdiction in every business in The United States.  This is enforced 
through the Fire Marshall’s inspection of commercial public businesses.
Please stand with me, American Citizens everywhere, and business 
owners in demanding that we will not allow The Department of Homeland 
Security in our businesses and homes.  We need all US Citizens and our 
elected officials to stand united against the unlawful abuses of The 
Department of Homeland Security and this increasingly fascist 
government.  The Patriot Act is the only reason The Department of 
Homeland Security has any jurisdiction.  This is intentional.  This is 
the first bold and aggressive move by them.  Please stand with us! Our 
children and grandchildren need us! 
I and my business Folly Moon (a restaurant in downtown Muncie, IN) 
have a hearing with The Department of Homeland Security at The Indiana 
State House on Friday Aug. 2nd at 10a.m.
