Oppression is Un-american

I'm not talking about our butchery-laden history; I'm talking about the ideals that define the idea of "America", outlined in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. We don't need yet another law that violates the freedoms guaranteed all persons under the Constitution's Bill of Rights.

If there really IS a group out there who "Hate our Freedom", maybe they have ideas such as making laws that will strip our freedom from us.

Call your Senators and urge them not to pass this latest affront to liberty, and call the reps who voted to pass this and let them know you don't like it:

Senate Moves Forward on Orwellian “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act”

In the wake of Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and Susan Collins’ (R-ME) alarmist report, “Violent Islamist Extremism, the Internet, and the Homegrown Terrorism Threat,” the Senate may be moving towards passage of the Orwellian “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″ (S. 1959).

A companion piece of legislative flotsam to the House bill, “The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″ (H.R. 1955), the Democrat-controlled Congress seems ready to jettison Constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly. The bill passed the House by a 404-6 vote in October. Twenty-three congress members abstained, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers.Under cover of studying “violent radicalization,” both bills would broaden the already-fluid definition of “terrorism” to encompass political activity and protest by dissident groups, effectively criminalizing civil disobedience and non-violent direct action by developing policies for “prevention, disruption and mitigation.” . . . . click here to read the rest of the story.
