Freedom of Speech is under attack

WEEEEEEEEEEE WOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEE WOOOOOOO

yeaaa, that's about the best I can do with text for Emergency sounds. Here, let's use some images to help my lack of imagination.



I could have gone with a village peoples video with the cop guy, but I thought i'd spare you.

Now i'm not going to go into great detail about this new attack on our Freedom of Speech. But the H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism act of 2007 is a very serious matter. It's very cleaverly written so if myself could be arrested for writing bad things about the Bush Administration. BIG BROTHER HERE WE COME!

Here is a two part video clip that you must watch. And there will be a petition at the bottom of this article to read and sign. If you value your freedom of speech, please do so! There are other ways to combat homegrown terrorism then this act.




and the conclusion:

To: U.S. Senate
On April 19th of this year, a resolution entitled "H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007" was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives and sponsored by:

Rep. Jane Harman [D-CA]; Rep. Christopher Carney [D-PA]; Del. Donna Christensen [D-VI]; Rep. Yvette Clarke [D-NY]; Rep. Charles Dent [R-PA]; Rep. Norman Dicks [D-WA]; Rep. Al Green [D-TX]; Rep. James Langevin [D-RI]; Rep. Zoe Lofgren [D-CA]; Rep. Nita Lowey [D-NY]; Rep. Daniel Lungren [R-CA]; Rep. Ed Perlmutter [D-CO]; Rep. Ted Poe [R-TX]; Rep. Dave Reichert [R-WA]; and Rep. Bennie Thompson [D-MS].

H.R. 1955 would virtually give our government the power to arrest, prosecute and incarcerate ANY AMERICAN CITIZEN who voices opposition to the U.S. Government for any reason, not merely domestic terrorists and violent political radicals.

For example, if you publically disagreed with the U.S. Government for committing unconstitutional acts, then YOU could be considered a domestic terrorist or a political radical, at least. This is not merely a bad piece of legislation, it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and a DIRECT THREAT to our FREEDOM.

Nonetheless, H.R. 1955 actually passed the U.S. House of Representatives on October 23, 2007 by a vote of 404 in favor to 6 opposed. The bill now goes on to a vote in the Senate and a signature by the President.

Additionally, on August 1, 2007, Sen. Susan Collins [R-ME] and Sen. Norm Coleman [R-MN] introduced a bill in the Senate to establish a National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism "and for other purposes"... This Senate bill is entitled S. 1959: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This Senate bill is in the first step of legislation, having been passed to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for review.

YOU MUST CONTACT YOUR SENATORS NOW and TELL THEM to KILL BOTH OF THESE BILLS in the Senate. You should tell your senators, in no uncertain terms, that THEY WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS if they support these bills.

If you agree that these bills are UNCONSTITUTIONAL and are a THREAT to our FREEDOM, you should sign this petition expressing OPPOSITION to H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, as well as OPPOSITION to Senate bill S. 1959, which is also called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007.

This is not about one political party versus another. H.R. 1955 and S. 1959 represent overwhelmingly bipartisan Congressional attempts to suppress our Freedom of Speech and to criminalize our AMERICAN RIGHT to OPPOSE THE GOVERNMENT.

It's time for YOU, as Americans with a proud heritage of opposition to the government, to stand up and make yourself heard, WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned



I contacted my Senator via E-mail and I was given the big green weenie with no lube(Marine term, sorry)
