When they protest in public space, it is legal, when they try to invade private space ti si not. There is no right to invade a church meeting, wedding or funeral on private property.

I think as America continues to evolve, the census form needs to do a better job of keeping up with the changing face of our population. My children, my grand-children, and my grand-parents are multi-racial.

And when I’m not filling out some politically suspect form, I’m happy to just be an American.
