ACTION ALERT! -- STOP THE THOUGHT POLICE!
STOP the JANE HARMAN
POLICE STATE BILLS
H.R. 1955 and S. 1959
If you believe that America is a democracy and should not be turned into a police state like Russia, Pakistan, Burma, Zimbabwe, China and so many other totalitarian nations then you must rise up and STOP:
The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 (H.R. 1955)
and its companion bill in the Senate – S. 1959
These bills will be the final triumph of fear over reason as the Federal government takes away any rights of free speech and association we may have left under the guise of preemptive National Security.
