I'm not opposed to driving to DC, in fact it was my 1st choice using google maps for nearby parking showed that Central Parking was open till 23;00 https://www.google.com/maps/search/...cbbaafe9c!4m2!1d-76.999525!2d38.8860434?hl=en
After reviewing the Capitol web page suggesting parking was prohibitive I began looking for alternatives (rail).I didn't consider Union Station equating it to Penn Station of 20 yrs ago,so thanks for the info, easier to program the nav system.

As Congress Remains Deadlocked on Guns, Action on State Laws Heats Up

"Recent efforts by Democrats to call attention to the impasse in Congress and turn up pressure on Republicans and the National Rifle Association to allow votes on federal gun legislation —including a House sit-in this week — highlight the growing importance of states in the national gun debate."

Spot on ! Back in the day Lewis would have been known as an Uppity Negro, he got his but wants to keep his brothers and sisters from rising up to levels of importance.
I think you might mean "House N-word". Not in my vocabulary, but I watched a lot of old movies and read a lot. Referred to folks who rose from field work to working inside the master's quarters. Usually resulted in preferential treatment, better food, clothing, etc. Often resented by the folks who were still plowing the fields and doing hard labor. Probably the same kind of resentment we tax payers feel about the anointed political class. Nothing to do with race, and everything to do with their self-important proclamations of entitled royalty and being above the laws that the rest of us must obey.
You can also get there by taking the MARC train to Union Station and the Circulator bus from there to the Capitol. Parking problem solved. See map: https://www.visitthecapitol.gov/plan-visit/us-capitol-map
John Lewis
Won Civil Rights in NOLA.
Lost Civil Rights in DC.
If he was as smart as people say, he's be running his B&B in the French Quarter.
I should be able to make this one. Someone needs to check rules on signs & flags, I think you can have flags and signs but no poles/ handles eg something that could become a weapon.
Paging Joppa ?
Paging Joppa ?
maybe contact Capitol Police?

Thanks, but we don't need NO STINKIN' PERMIT! (They want paperwork 10 DAYS in advance LOL)
It does say groups of 20 don't require a permit anyway, so if we have 200 people show up, well then, we have 10 groups.

STFU Patriots
STFU 3%ers
You get the picture...

it was more in response to the question about the signage composition, you know no pointy things.
Glad to get good info...thanks.... because we are moving up from Annapolis to the PRO level in DC.

Great info Thanks. It had me worried until I read permits not required for less then 20, surely they understand larger groups will just sub-divide, haha, problem solved. The one area of concern is, a group without a permit may get booted from an area another group has a permit for, but with all the available spaces doesn't seem we'll need to worry about this.

What do you think of section 11 of the Capitol Grounds Map ?

I figured the US Capitol is a different animal than Annapolis. i didn't know if Joppa would know the exact policies.
I found those docs on the US Capitol Police web site.

For context, the Dems know that their proposals won't work; this is all a political charade to frame a political issue for the election, energize their base, and raise money. I heard the writer of this piece on the radio today -- NPR! Lois Beckett, of The Guardian, actually discusses the real problems and real solutions.
Changing the conversation: how to break the cycle of gun reform failure
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...nging-the-conversation-hillary-clinton-reform
"... Now Democrats have decided that taking on the NRA is a great way to energize their base. But it’s one thing to try to win elections by stoking Democratic voters’ anger about Republicans blocking laws to reduce gun violence. It’s another thing to actually move the needle on the number of people dying.
A cycle of mistrust
What wins elections for Democrats isn’t necessarily what saves lives. If Democrats are serious about the latter, too, they can’t just re-litigate the sometimes dubious policies of the 1990s. And they can’t pretend that all progress on reducing gun violence in America is being blocked by Republicans and the NRA.
It’s not. There are ways to save lives that have nothing to do with regulating guns. All that’s holding them back is lack of public attention and a little bit of money.
We’ve been fiercely debating gun violence, police violence, and criminal justice reform as if these are three completely separate problems. In fact, community advocates on the ground often see them as deeply interconnected problems – a vicious cycle of mistrust that makes everyone less safe.
Researchers have found that most urban gun violence is driven by very small networks of extremely high-risk men – and that focusing prevention efforts on those men can reduce gang-related violence by a third or more. There’s clear evidence that the best way to reduce violence is to zero in on the places and the people most at risk of contributing to violence – not whole “bad” neighborhoods, not whole generations of young black men in hoodies, but particular addresses, particular street corners, the one or two percent of high-risk young men who are actually driving the violence and putting everyone around them in danger. Researchers and community advocates have been exploring ways that reducing gun violence might require reckoning with racially biased policing – and how restoring the legitimacy of the police in the eyes of black community members may help break the cycle of retaliatory shootings.
After Sandy Hook, as the Obama administration was launching a new national platform on gun violence prevention, a group of black ministers came to Washington to push the White House to focus more on the gun deaths of black men. They asked the White House to include funding for successful targeted urban violence prevention strategies in the national platform.
“What was said to us by the White House was, there’s really no support nationally to address the issue of urban violence,” Rev Charles Harrison, a pastor from Indianapolis said. “The support was to address the issue of gun violence that affected suburban areas – schools where white kids were killed.”
The reluctance to talk about black men as the majority of America’s gun violence victims is beginning to change. So is the huge gap between the national policy debate and what’s working in cities like Boston and New Orleans.
In the tumultuous days since the Orlando shooting, there is an urgency in the debate, which speaks of a new momentum. There are lessons for proponents and opponents of guns, the gun industry, politicians and the media.
Outrage is important. Outrage is the beginning. But outrage won’t get us far enough. To move forward, it will take discipline, political compromise, and a relentless focus on what actually works to save lives."

The Dems are politicking in an election year for partisan advantage, not offering solutions. And by demanding that gun rights of "suspected" terrorists on secret, McCarthyesque lists aren't worthy of Due Process compliance, while ignoring not only radical Islamic terrorism but also the real problems and possible real solutions discussed above, proves it.
