We have called and let the police know. Why? Because that's what you're supposed
to do, just so they know what's going on if they get a phone call Friday afternoon.
We have the freedom of speech, but there are laws about what you can say and do as
you exercise your rights.

It's more than just BYUSA, it's BYU. At the university I used to attend they
had this type of stuff all the time; BYU is a little different. Someone (I believe)
got kicked out of BYU for being a little to strong in their protesting up in
Salt Lake.
We just want to make sure that we obey the law and atleast act professional. I
hope that's not too much to ask. :-)
