According to a post on the township Facebook page Friday afternoon, Palmer denied a request to hold the event at Fairview Park because it will draw more than 250 people, violating Gov. Tom Wolf’s cap on gatherings. The township also says it is unable to “allocate public resources to monitor and ensure compliance with the current public health safety mandates for the proposed event.”
The denial is “in the interests of public health safety,” the post states.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey of St. Louis were set to “do a rally event to wake up suburban voters about the Second Amendment, individual rights and defending your life and property,” Northampton County Republican Committee Chairperson Gloria Lee Snover said Wednesday. |

It would probably be allowed if it were a Biden rally.
Assuming that a Biden rally could even draw 250 people. |

TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
