‘He does not use amplification or project his message orally to share his religious beliefs. He remains silent when he holds a sign, only speaking with individuals who approach him for conversation’

A South Carolina town is being sued for imposing a permitting scheme and demanding other limits on the display of a religious sign.
First Liberty Institute has filed the action in federal court against the town of Chapin for its agenda to impose a permit requirement, and other limits, on Ernest Giardino.
“No one should be forced to ask the government’s permission to express their faith in a public space,” explained First Liberty lawyer Nate Kellum, in a statement about the case.
