SUBJECT: Request for sound-amplification permit for Tuesday, September 11, 2007


1. On Tuesday, September 11, there are plans to conduct a "Freedom Walk" beginning at the SC State House at 11:30 AM, in observance of the sixth anniversary of the tragic events that took place on September 11, 2001.

2. As a pro-life missionary and the director of a Christian, pro-life, pro-chastity ministry organization, I have been addressing for years the connection between the tragedy of September 11, 2001 and the loss of approx. 3,000 American lives on that day because of the actions of evil men, and the daily loss throughout the country of over 3,000 American lives by the evil act of abortion. The Bible says that bloodshed follows bloodshed (Hosea 4:2). God punishes national sins by national calamities in our day, just as He punished America for the national sin of black chattel slavery by giving us the terrible "War Between Americans," in 1861-1865.

2. As a matter of free-speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion, I would like to express this message of the judgment of God upon America for the national sin of child-murder by abortion, and the coming destruction of America as we presently know it, as a divine judgment, unless we stop killing our own children by abortion (by surgical and chemical means), on the Gervais Street public sidewalk in front of the SC State House on Tuesday, September 11. IAW Chapter 8, ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SANITATION, Section 8-67.(d), I would like to request a permit be issued by City Council for the broadcast of First Amendment, noncommercial speech in connection with the observance of the September 11, 2001 sixth anniversary, using a sound-amplification device (i.e., megaphone), from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (Noon), September 11, 2007.
