Today we have filed suit against NYC Mayor de Blasio.
This case seeks to protect and vindicate fundamental liberties that citizens of the United States enjoy free from government interference. These liberties are not conferred or granted by government to then be rescinded at the will and whims of government officials. These God-given liberties are possessed by the people, and they are guaranteed against government interference by the United States Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. First among these liberties is the right to peacefully protest government officials through the freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble guaranteed by the First Amendment. 2.The right to freedom of speech is not a right to catharsis. It is a right to meaningfully protest and assemble in public in order to change public policy. The most effective way to exercise this right is to organize and participate in a large public protest. Defendants, through the adoption and enforcement of executive edicts, have suspended this fundamental right in the City of New York.

John Adams warned that “Liberty once lost is lost forever.” All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Through this Complaint, PlaintiffGeller challenges Defendants’ suspension of the First Amendment. There is no justification, pandemic or otherwise, for a government official to revoke this fundamental right of the people.4.Accordingly, this case seeks to protect and vindicate fundamental constitutional rights. It is a civil rights action brought under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and 42 U.S.C. § 1983, challenging Defendants’ restriction on Plaintiff’s right to engage in peaceful protests and protected speech in public forums in the City of New York (hereinafter “First Amendment Restriction”).5.Plaintiff seeks a declaration that Defendants violated her clearly established constitutional rights as set forth in this Complaint; a declaration that Defendants’ First AmendmentRestriction violates the United States Constitution and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 as set forth in this Complaint; a preliminary and permanent injunction enjoining the enforcement of Defendants’ First Amendment Restriction as set forth in this Complaint; and nominal damages for the past loss of Plaintiff’s constitutional rights. Plaintiff also seeks an award of reasonable costs of litigation, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988 and other applicable law.

BREAKING NEWS: Lawsuit Filed Challenging N.Y. Mayor de Blasio’s Suspension of the First Amendment
By AFLC, May 7, 2020:
(New York – May 7, 2020) – Today, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC), a national public interest law firm, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and his police commissioner.
The lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of political activist Pamela Geller, challenges Mayor de Blasio’s recent announcement that, pursuant to his executive orders, the First Amendment no longer applies in the City of New York as he has made it unlawful to peaceably assemble and protest.
Geller is an author, a conservative blogger, and champion for the First Amendment. In addition to successfully challenging government restrictions on free speech in New York, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Seattle, she was the organizer of the successful public protest of the Ground Zero mosque construction in Lower Manhattan.
But for Mayor de Blasio’s suspension of the First Amendment, Geller would organize and participate in a public protest of de Blasio’s policies, including the draconian restrictions he has imposed upon fundamental liberties during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As alleged in the lawsuit:
“Public protests are an effective way to change public policy, particularly during this current COVID-19 pandemic. For example, shortly following a large public protest outside of the State Capitol in Lansing, Michigan, the Michigan Governor eased many of the restrictions that fueled the protest, realizing that her political power and future were in jeopardy as a result of her exceedingly unpopular decisions. Other similar protests have sprung up in major cities across the country. Through the First Amendment Restriction, Defendant de Blasio seeks to silence such opposition to his policies so that he can retain his political power over the City and its residents. Consequently, the First Amendment Restriction operates to suppress those viewpoints that oppose efforts by government officials, which specifically includes Defendant de Blasio’s efforts, to control people’s lives and restrict their liberty during the COVID-19 pandemic—a viewpoint shared by Plaintiff Geller.”
AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel Davis Yerushalmi commented:
“Our natural political liberties, enshrined and protected by the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution, do not go on vacation or in hiding or on lock-down during times of crisis. Government has a role to play in protecting the public health to be sure. But when it exercises this authority, granted by the People, it must act surgically and most carefully when restricting our protected civil liberties—Freedom of Speech and Assembly, first among all. It is high time Mayor de Blasio and his police commissioner understand that they do not rule by mere fiat.”
AFLC Co-Founder and Senior Counsel Robert Muise added:
“Too many leftwing, progressive politicians like Mayor de Blasio see this current pandemic as an opportunity to impose draconian restrictions on fundamental rights and liberty. Mayor de Blasio’s latest effort to suspend the First Amendment in the City of New York is one of the most egregious restrictions we have seen. It is unfathomable that a government official’s thirst for power would go this far. He needs to be stopped, and we intend to do so.”

livingengine, Bring this to the attention of Pamela Geller. LOOK at how her paper work is filed! PAMELA GELLER is a strawman dead fictional character whereas Pamela Geller is a live woman! Names in all caps are corporations, standard names of live men and women are styled without capitalization. BILL DE BLASIO is a dead fictional character, not a live man. Only exists in legal fiction, and has no lawful standing. Don’t you guys know anything? This case is DOA.
if you know better why don;t you do it yourself ? File case yourself
I’m working on a couple of things in this regard. Why don’t I? I have to have a legitimate cause of action and don’t live in New York. I would have to be harmed in New York or that they reached out of their jurisdiction and harmed me. As of yet, that hasn’t happened. If it does, then I can.
If you are looking for some truth: See Dr Judy Mikovits “Plandemicmovie” and try NOT to kill Tony Faucci or Dr Birx………but you might want to anyway
I would prefer that we try them for treason and hang Fauci, at least. His actions can only be correctly described as an attack on the people of the United States.
Wilhelm must be shaking with rage that someone has dared challenge his tinpot dictatorship.
GOD Bless you Pamela and this lawsuit. This Communist SLIME tyrant must be removed from power.
God can’t bless a lawsuit that is filed with all kinds of mistakes in it. PAMELA GELLER is a dead fictional character, a corporation, whereas Pamela Geller is a live woman. BILL DE BLASIO is a dead fictional character, just a name on a piece of paper, not a live man. When filing a meaningful lawsuit you must 1st establish status, standing , and jurisdiction. Pam has failed at all 3.
Pam, have I told you lately that I love you? If not, I’m saying it now. You are my hero! G-d bless you, you gorgeous person! ????
Me too. G-d Bless You Pamela!
Well, as I said, Pamela can breathe fire when she has to.
This is gonna be tough, she will win either way, the perfect case! Step one, watch the judge try to deny her standing, because she is not personally harmed. That will fail, of course she is harmed. Thus, we will have precedent for 8 million other NYC complainants to sue. Class action, here we come.
“The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition for a redress of grievances”
Then depose de Blasio, make him admit he killed many in senior residences and hospitals. That will squeeze that tyrant.
AND IF PAMELA loses, in a high-profile case? Then de Blasio will never see public office again, NYC is mad at that guy, and they will want Pamela to win. Pamela will win either way.
Agree. Its deliberate attempt to weaken rights of citizens
Left/Liberal pro-jihadis/anti-nationals politicians/media are corrupt paid shills for islam . paid by saudi/qatar/OIC
Merkel govt funded Pro-jihadi Left/Liberals run propaganda to create more sex slaves out of little children like in UK http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/merkel-pro-jihadi-propaganda/
Do these scumbags have any conscience ?
Uh, actually are first more socialist/communists than anything else
the left that is
The lawsuit is written in complete error and could be used to bring charges against Pam for filing a fraudulent lawsuit. PAMELA GELLER is a corporation, a dead fictional character whereas Pamela Geller is a live woman. BILL DE BLASIO is a dead fictional character summoned up out of the ether becoming a corporation. Not a live man, just a name on a piece of paper. If Pam is going to court and says she’s PAMELA GELLER, well how can a dead fictional character bring live words into a court. CAN”T!!!! It will be dismissed. This is what lawyers do. They lie steady. They use a different etymology where the words have different meanings and then everyone is baffled as to the end result. Lawyers are the group sitting in the corner speaking a different language while making fun of you. You have no idea what their doing, but you know something is wrong. This will go until the money runs out and then be dismissed or shuffled off some other way. When you bring a meaningful lawsuit you must 1st establish status, standing, and jurisdiction. Pam’s failed on all 3. I told her a long time ago that she was fighting to fight and not fighting to win. Hasn’t listened yet.
What is “corporate”, fictional, dead character or fraudulent about this:
Plaintiff Pamela Geller (“Plaintiff”, by and through undersigned counsel, brings this Complaint against the above-named Defendants, their employees, agents, and successors in office
??
Anything that is written in all capitol letters is by legal definition a corporation. This is how Admiralty Law is, plain and simple. UNITED STATES is a corporation. This comes from Roman Civil Law. You think it just means it’s more important as it’s capitalized, but that is part of the deception. Legal trickery. PAMELA GELLER is a corporation, Pamela Geller is not, that is a live woman. Your response you capitalized it differently than what is filed. You think it doesn’t matter, but that is a huge mistake. Lawyers use exacting language only known to themselves and are bound by their oath to the Bar Association to not reveal these things. There are plenty of ways to find these things out and you need to research these things extensively. In the Congressional Record of 1950 it specifies that the Lawyers Guild is the bull work of the Communist Party. That should tell you everything you need to know. Hiding in plain sight. https://johnhenryhill.wordpress.com/2014/02/20/the-united-states-of-america-corproration-listings-laugh-or-weep/
are you really this stupid? which state were these corporations filled in?
Their also traded on the NYSE. Get informed.
My response was not “capitalized differently” – it was a cut and paste directly from the document. Pamela Geller is also named in the document just as I have written it here, with only the first letter of each of her names capitalized.
1st item on the document, ” PAMELA GELLER “. Judge or lawyer reads that and is immediately informed as to how much said person knows about their procedures, which is nothing. All capitalized is by legal definition a corporation, and or, a piece of property. There are exacting rules of procedure. A piece of property has no rights, so the judge is laughing inside. Anything after PAMELA GELLER is of no consequence as it is without merit from the beginning. These are their rules. I didn’t create them or decided for myself how they work, this is their game.
Thanks for telling the world you are an idiot! Do they really teach this stuff at Harvard law School?
You should know this stuff by now. Quit just complaining and get informed. Verification of what I said is all over the web. Your embarrassing yourself by admitting you don’t know this.
Phil, stop sucking up!
Bravo, Pamela! When you get done handing DeBlasto his ass, can you please duplicate that action here in CA? Nearly 40 million people in this state, and NO ONE has thought of doing that here.
She doesn’t have standing in CA. You take the lead.
Thank God for Ms. Geller!!!!!!!!

Ditto, thank you Ms. Geller.
Thank you, Ms Geller!
We are trying to sort things out in Texas too.
E X C E L L E N T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great news! Thank you Ms Geller.
Thank her by contributing to this site! As much or whatever you can!
The DOJ should enjoin itself in this lawsuit on Pamela Gellar’s side. Guinea Goombah wannabe DEe Blasio does not have the authority to suspend the 1st amendment.
Any bets on which Democrat will be the first to tip a stool over?
ALL OF ‘EM
Way to go, Pam. I will be contributing $$ to help you first thing tomorrow!
I THINK EVERY AMERICAN READING THIS WHO CHERISHES THE CONSTITUTION, SHOULD CONTRIBUTE $25 TO THIS SITE TO HELP WITH THE COSTS FOR THIS LAWSUIT! It will all add up against the tyranny of COMRADE DeBlasio.
Even if you cannot afford that, send her $10!!!
This site takes PAYPAL, which is the only way I give money!
THANK YOU PAM GELLER. YOU ARE INDEED, A HERO FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
God bless you and keep you, lass. May He keep His hand on you and keep you in His ways.
This proves so many media people are full of hot air and are nothing but talk, including Limbaugh, Hannity, and Michael Savage. Pamela Geller steps up to the plate, lines it up at the starting gate, steps into the ring, throws her body in front of the bullet AM I MISSING ANYTHING? THE GREATNESS OF PAMELA GELLER UNREAL! Please support Pamela Geller by posting this story link in your social media and all contacts.

A beautiful lawsuit. Watch your back Pamela.
NO!!! Terrible lawsuit. Written all wrong! PAMELA GELLER is a dead fictional character whereas Pamela Geller is a live woman. BILL DE BLASIO is a dead fictional character, not a live man and Pam could be brought up on charges of attempting a fraudulent action. This is exactly what happens when you trust lawyers. If lucky it will go until the money runs out and is dismissed. Complete waste of time. When filing a meaningful lawsuit you must 1st establish status, standing , and jurisdiction. Pam has failed on all 3.
You have my full support! Thank God someone is doing this.
This is a sorely needed lawsuit; I hope its granted class-action status, and similar actions filed in every state, city, and county in the nation that has denied constitutional rights under the guise of protecting us from the CCP Virus. This is the type of legal action that can galvanize the people into action against the wannabe tyrants.
May the Good Lord Bless and Keep Pamela Geller !!!
May the Good Lord Bless and Keep Pamela Geller !!!
Dear Pamela – your website is TOO SMALL !!!
The Nazis are alive and well in the Democratic party and the CIA!
Go get em Pam!, Thank God that there is someone out there like you, always looking after the rights of Americans!
What De Blasio is doing in NY is a travesty to our Constitution!
Love ya, and keep up the great work!!!
If something is in the best interests of the people then you ask a freeman for his co-operation, you don’t order him.
The Democrats remain the party of human slavery. They are viscerally opposed to Free men.
This should be the first of many. Time to hold the career politicians responsible.
Glad they are suing him
He doesn’t have the authority to suspend any right and it is treason
This is why we need LEO that will enforce the Constitution under their oath
and if they won’t do it at state level then the Federal LEO should step in
If that doesn’t work then it is the peoples responibility to enforce the law
No one is above the peoples rights they are not given by man but by nature and natures God
Excellent. God Bless Pamela Geller. She has proven to be a consistent, unwavering warrior for Liberty and the Constitution/Bill of Rights !
This reminds me of protestors to a Shillariah C-l-1-n-t-0-n crime family rally — they were allowed to protest some city blocks away from the venue in a specially designated free speech zone while the rest of the city became a free of free speech zone.
