There's a building right across the river from my house wherein is a ancient bit of parchment in a nitrogen filled case.
It's a bit faded, but there's a section of that document that reads:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

I see no mention of permits or restricted times, do you?
March anyway and class action them into submission.
