This is just sickening. Our Government has become extremely too intrusive. When children are actually approached and given a $500.00 fine for selling lemonade for charity is just way, way, overboard in my opinion. And as long as we stand idly by and let the government get away with these kind of Marxist tactics they will only continue to 'progressively' get worse.
This happened right here in our state, make some phone calls, write some letters, however you can think of a way to contact our representatives do it, and tell them what you think about the government shutting down and fining these big hearted children 500 bucks when all they wanted to do was raise some money for charity. Good grief, it was a simple lemonade stand that I'm sure a lot of you had at least one of in your youth or that your children may have or planning on having during the dog days of summer.
A group of young entrepreneurs got an icy reception by Maryland law enforcement this week, when their lemonade stand on the road to the U.S. Open golf tournament earned the children a $500 fine. 'Today' correspondent Savannah Guthrie chronicles the controversial lemonade stand permit debacle. Footage shows the kids selling their ice cold summery drinks as Guthrie reports, "A group of children set up a lemonade stand outside the tournament venue to raise money for pediatric cancer, but the Maryland county hosting the Open slapped the kids with a $500 fine for operating without a vending license."
The parents in the case are furious over the heavy-handed fine. "They say they're going to help these 4- to 10-year-olds continue to operate the stand throughout the tournament, no matter what the county does,"
