The next national wave of protests against illegal immigration and Obama's plans to decree immigration reform amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants kicks off today and tomorrow at protest locations in more than 250 towns and cities despite numerous efforts by Facebook to hinder and suppress the movement.
In the last few weeks, Facebook has restricted the communications abilities of the two primary leaders of national organizations conducting the protests, while also interfering with conservative activists by refusing to let them share posts and event pages related to opposition to the Obama and Mark Zuckerberg supported amnesty plans for illegals.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is releasing this video proving part of the interference, which was lifted shortly after the video was publicly released last night.

Facebook restored access last night about 10 minutes after this video was posted to the National Protests against illegal immigration event page and William Gheen's main profile page.
All members of the media and all illegal immigration-opposing activists are encouraged to continue to support and attend the more than 250 protests scheduled for October 24-25! (click here for protest locations and times)
This is the second time Facebook has been caught acting in a highly biased way to try to stop Americans that oppose Obama. This video from February, 2013 documents prior censorship of protests against Obama. (CLICK HERE)
"We want everyone to know that Facebook is working behind the scenes to make sure that any political agenda that contradicts the plans of owner Mark Zuckerberg and Barack Obama is not going to snowball into an avalanche!" said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "Facebook is restricting access to our own groups, blocking conservatives from sharing some events, and restricting the reach of our groups so that very few people see what we post! Americans need a better alternative to Facebook that is not using sneaky ways to suppress the efforts of conservatives."
Screen shots and videos document that many supporters of the protests against Obama and illegal immigration are not being allowed to share the main event page on Facebook, William Gheen was blocked from communicating with more than 100,000 people of 2 large groups including the main ALIPAC Facebook page, and James Neighbors of Overpasses for America had his account restricted for almost two weeks before the protests without explanation from Facebook.
"I founded Overpasses for America on Facebook and I manage 40 state level groups that I could not interact with when Facebook took away my ability to post or create events up until Oct 21!" said James Neighbors, founder of Overpasses for America. "Facebook refused to give me any explanation for paralyzing my account and destroying my ability to lead and organize."
Facebook has also restricted the "reach" of pages so that even with more than 15,000 supporters on ALIPAC's main Facebook page, any post by ALIPAC is usually only shown to less than 300 people on the page!
Overpasses for America and ALIPAC are encouraging American activists who oppose Obama and illegal immigration to join email alerts for groups they support, begin using older online forum technologies instead of biased social media, and to spread the word that Facebook is working to hinder conservatives.
