A group of kids showed America what the right of protest is all about by openly defying a ban on sledding on Capitol Hill during Thursday's snowstorm.
The freedom fighters bravely took to the Hill to show the world what good, old-fashioned patrotism looks like.
Just look at these rabble-rousers.

#breaking Civil Disobedience on Capitol Hill as people sled at the Capitol in defiance of US Capitol Police orders.
The sledding ban has been a hot topic of debate in D.C. this winter, the Washington Post reported.
Sledding was banned on the Hill after 9/11, but the rule was rarely enforced. However, last month capitol police began to enforce the ban after complaints, the Washington Post reported.
But lawmakers, such as D.C.'s at-large congressional representative Eleanor Holmes Norton, spoke out to fight for the children's right to sled.
Holmes Norton requested that officials lift the ban temporarily during Thursday's snow storm, and reconsider the ban in the future.
"Children and their parents should able to enjoy sledding on one of the best hills in the city," she said.
Holmes Norton's movement drew supporters like Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.

At first, Capitol Police rejected Holmes Norton's request and said the ban would be enforced.

This inspired kids and their parents to head to the Hill on Thursday for the "sled-in" protest.
However, a few hours later, history was made.
No enforcement of #sledding ban on Capitol Hill today. Thank you Capitol Police!
