Here's why!

That's fucked up! Has anyone been prosecuted for this? Was this law a delayed reaction to the OKC bombing since it was made into law around 98-99? The only bright side is that they've made civil disobedience really simple to accomplish.

The law was passed in 1919, and later amended in 1997.

Alright I only saw the later dates mentioned but going back 1919 also makes sense with the sedition laws coming into play during the US's involvement in the first world war so I would imagine that state and local governments would create similar laws for after the war. Do you have more history on the law?

I came to the story from a person on twitter, who is on the conspirator list ( http://twitter.com/freedombookclub/conspirators ).

You will have to ask this person if he has more information: http://twitter.com/EmergentOrder
