Police told anti-war protesters they could not hand out leaflets Sunday at Heritage Day denouncing the Iraq war, members of the Lehigh-Pocono Committee of Concern said.
"It's ironic and it's sad that this is organized to celebrate the Declaration of Independence and at the same time they want to suppress freedom of speech," said Mike Lawton, of Bethlehem.
The Declaration was read for the first time publicly on July 8, 1776, in Easton, Trenton and Philadelphia. Heritage Day celebrates the reading in Easton.
