New Thought-Police, Anti-Dissent Law?

Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007

Without a lot of attention, this could become the new "Sedition Act":

Idea:

Instead of focusing on the politics of getting re-elected in '08,

How 'bout if

you focus on preserving the constitution?

Remember this?:
"
in January of every odd-numbered year, those newly elected or re-elected Congressmen - the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate - must recite an oath:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.

Every Email, Every Site you visited, recorded by NSA

In direct violation of the 4th Amendment of the Constitution, these goons have been tracking every move we make on the internet.

The Senate is considering giving telcoms retroactive legal immunity for violations like this, next week. This is unacceptable. Good time for a phone call to your senator.

To Judicial committee members

Here's the list of all committee members. Call every one in your state.
http://judiciary.house.gov/CommitteeMembership.aspx

For calls to republican representatives, I recommend the following highlights:

  • This is an executive power grab.
  • Appeasing the executive branch is relinquishing congressional power.
  • It sets a bad precedent. How will you feel if President Clinton or Obama does what these guys are doing?
  • This is an upset in the checks and balances in our constitutional republic.
  • Urge the congressman to honor your oath and preserve our republic.

Tell them, "Begin Impeachment Hearings"

Use this link to send a message to the House Judiciary Committee urging them to begin impeachment hearings per H.Res 333 (impeach Dick Cheney)

Silence of the Lambs

Shhh... Hear that? It's the fascist press NOT COVERING the IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION (H.Res 333) that passed the House yesterday.

You folks in the house keep sitting there with your thumbs.... and one day you won't have a freaking legislative branch to drive to in the morning. Do your jobs!

This is not time to appease these crooks. It is time to Impeach and Prosecute. Cheney First, and Bush immediately after.

Don't let our Constitutional Republic die of "Embarrassment".

So what happened? There's Stuff to do. Look here:

H.R. versus H. Res

http://thomas.loc.gov/home/faqlist.html

How are bills identified? Are there different versions of bills?

There are four types of legislation: bills, joint resolutions, concurrent resolutions and simple resolutions. Any of these may be introduced in either chamber. They are identified as follows:

  1. S. 123 - Bill originating in the Senate
  2. S.R. 123 - Simple Resolution of the Senate
  3. S.J.Res. 123 - Joint Resolution originating in the Senate
  4. S. Con. Res. 123 - Concurrent Resolution originating in the Senate
  5. H.R. 123 - Bill originating in the House
  6. H.Res. 123 - Simple Resolution of the House
  7. H.J.Res. 123 - Joint Resolution originating in the House
  8. H.Con.Res. 123 - Concurrent Resolution originating in the House

The right to bear arms is for The People, Not for Corporations.

Hijacking the Second Amendment:

“From my Cold, Dead Hands”, said Charlton Heston, star of the classic movie “The Ten Commandments” and spokesman for the NRA (National Rifle Association) at one of their rallies, trumpeting the importance of freedom and security in peoples ability to resist tyranny.

This appeal to rugged individuals, at face value “uniquely American” and courageous, is misleading and deceptive. Much of the driving force behind the “Gun Lobby” is the “Arms Industry” (corporations that use or sell machines that kill and destroy). This mercenary Death and Destruction industry is, in many cases, competing directly with natural persons (real people) for the right to bear arms under the second amendment.

Because corporations are inherently dictatorial government structures, and because the second amendment explicitly defines its purpose as to defend a free state, it logically follows that corporations should not have the right to bear arms; and that armed corporate dictatorships are precisely the kind of tyranny the second amendment is intended to protect us against.

Here’s the Second Amendment:

"
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
"

“Well-Regulated” refers to oversight and control by the people, managing their own community defense through their own elected local governments.

“The People” is different from “people”. “People” bearing arms, while not co-dependent on their neighbors, might well pose a threat to each other. “The People” is our community, collectively managing itself. The Second Amendment thus refers to municipalities having the ability to muster men and firepower for the purpose of defense against tyranny and other disasters. One modern manifestation of this is the “National Guard”, which would be more rightly called the “State Militia”. It might very well be the best deployment of militia to have the population at large in possession of their own arms, as in Switzerland. Militias should never be deployed overseas, as they are today under the rein of George W. Bush.

Today, while the municipalities can barely survive shootouts with street-gangs, and the corporate radio calls for government’s further destruction, firms like Blackwater U.S.A. and CACI are roaming city streets, oftentimes better armed than our own elite military. This modern-day Praetorian Guard must be dismantled immediately if our republic is to survive.
