At Chris Christie town hall, woman says officials confiscated her 'Resign Christie' signs
A woman in the crowd at Gov. Chris Christies town hall meeting today said members of the governors staff confiscated "Resign Christie" signs she had made.
Isabel Newson, 48, of Keansburg, said that in the middle of the forum, Christie staffers took away two copies of the sign and said she would have to leave the VFW hall where the event took place.
Newson one of the hundreds of New Jersey residents at the public event said she refused to leave and remained in her seat and held up a third copy of the sign as Christie finished speaking in the center of the room.
I invoked my First Amendment rights, she said.
Newson said she made three signs on white computer paper for the event, tucking them in her jacket pocket. She was sitting in the front row of bleachers.

Lady came with a back-up sign! They took two from her but she hid a third in her jacket! Now there's a resourceful woman!
