A Maryland Ku Klux Klan (KKK) group has been given permission to meet in a county government building to plan the impeachment of Barack Obama for being an illegal president.
The "Cecil Whig" reported on Wednesday that the Confederate White Knights had reserved the Elk Room in the Cecil County Government Building on Dec. 20.
Barack Hussein Obama is an illegal president, Imperial Wizard Richard Preston told the paper. He needs to be removed from office. We also want Obamacare shut down. Its against citizens rights.
On top of that, we want the laws toughened on immigration, the KKK leader continued. Were flooded with illegal immigrants and our people cant find jobs.
The group has created an impeachment petition which will be circulated at the meeting.
Maryland State Police 1st Sgt. Jimmy Russell said that the FBI had notified law enforcement officials about the meeting.
They said to expect from 40 to 200 people, Russell explained. They are not worried about (Preston). They are more worried about the people that could show up.
Cecil County Director of Administration Al Wein insisted that the group had to be given permission to use the government building because of the First Amendment right to peaceable assembly.
The First Amendment also prohibits local government from discriminating against an organizations right of free speech and peaceable assembly on public property, no matter how offensive the message may be, Weins office said in a statement.
The group had previously planned a rally at Gettysburg, the site of one of the bloodiest battles of the U.S. Civil War, but their plans were thwarted earlier this year after Republicans shut down the U.S. government over the presidents health care reform law.
Theres lots of good farmers and old people who understand if we dont straighten out, were not going to be a country anymore, Imperial Wizard Preston remarked.
The groups website says that membership is open to anyone who is 100% heterosexual, of European heritage and born in the U.S. but Jews, Muslims, Satanists and communists are not welcome.
However, Preston maintained that the Confederate White Knights was not a hate group.
Just because were a certain way in our group, doesnt mean we hate other groups, he said. I think the people that do come will be surprised.
