Philadelphia woman faces $600-a-day fine for feeding needy neighborhood kids
A Pennsylvania woman who offers free lunch every day to low-income children in her neighborhood faces a $600-a-day fine next summer if she continues because she did not clear the food giveaway with township officials.
Angela Prattis donates her time to distribute the meals — supplied by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia — and adheres to strict paperwork, like filling out weekly reports and being visited bi-weekly from a state worker, MyFoxPhilly.com reports.

When they stop her and send in the police to arrest her, she needs to make sure of what she says. Name every member of the city council and say they are trying to starve these children. Then run against the most vulnerable councilmember on that issue! Get a few friends to run against other councilmembers, too. Then become a voting block that screws the other councilmembers.

What the hell kind of “cut” do these mobsters want?
A bologna and cheese sandwich? A bruised apple?
Dickheads.

How dare this woman ease their dependence on government? These kids could grow up being independent thinkers. Some may even vote (gasp) conservative.

Why is it that I have this gut feeling that there is some local government agency that is looking at getting a ton of Federal Taxpayer $$ to take over this feeding of these poor kids?

The paternalistic tyranny of petty bureaucrats should never be discounted. These taxpayer-funded thugs are on the front line trying to wrest liberty from our firm grip. If we can’t rid ourselves of thuggery at the local level, we have no chance of doing so at the national level.

@grayscape – Seems like a lot more initiative than the average lib puts forth, they usually sit back and demand the gov hand stuff out for them

Beck has been covering this for a while now. There are about 11 cities (Filtydelphia included), where it’s illegal to feed the homeless, not just the kids. The audacity from on high (make no mistake, this comes from Ogabe) that Americans aren’t “allowed” to feed hungry people is anathema to the right AND left and is one of the ways he’s trying to get lefties to see the idiocy of BIG Gubmint.
Donations from his audience filled 12 tractor trailers that delivered food to all 11 cities. They left the weekend of “Restoring Love,” his most recent event in Dallas.
