<p>I have been trying to find out what instructions were given to SOTU attendees in advance of the speech. This web site <a href=“http://www.aoc.gov/cc/visit/prohibited-items.cfm[/url]”>http://www.aoc.gov/cc/visit/prohibited-items.cfm&lt;/a&gt;
lists the things that are prohibited in the Capitol building. I notice it does not list “political t-shirts” so apparently special instructions were in effect.</p>

<p>Who issued those instructions and what were they? And why were they not given to attendees?</p>

<p>Years ago, when my parents were invited to the Nixon White House during the VietNam years, a large packet of instructions was sent after my parents accepted the invitation. It included details about how to behave in the receiving line and what kind of shoes were acceptable (not metal-tipped spike heels); it’s hard for me to believe that SOTU tickets don’t come with instructions, esp. if they’re planning to eject invited guests.</p>

<p>If I wore a shirt that said 1Million Homeless (or whatever the # is), does that mean I am a protester. Its a fact</p>

<p>When we went to the Vatican, they had a dress code. Fine. They provided long pants and shawls. But your shirt could say stuff. </p>

<p>If they want a dress code, fine-</p>

<p>Say NO WRITING OF ANY KIND ON ANYTHING</p>

<p>And if they are going to do that, then no NIKE, GAP, COLLEGES, etc, cause I for one can’t stand labeled clothes</p>

<p>Where do we draw the Line</p>

<p>What if a student was visting from Iraq and had a shirt on, is that a protest?</p>
