FYI The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed <http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-1955>HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This bill is one of the most blatant attacks against the Constitution yet and actually defines thought crimes as homegrown terrorism. If passed into law, it will also establish a commission and a Center of Excellence to study and defeat so called thought criminals. Unlike previous anti-terror legislation, this bill specifically targets the civilian population of the United States and uses vague language to define homegrown terrorism. <http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2007-993>Amazingly, 404 of our elected representatives from both the Democrat and Republican parties voted in favor of this bill. There is little doubt that this bill is specifically targeting the growing patriot community that is demanding the restoration of the Constitution. First lets take a look at the definitions of violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism as defined in Section 899A of the bill.
When will United States Citizens ever decide enough is enough and fire Washington? Congress is pulling another fast one and no one is paying attention. As if wanting to control the entire population via the latest proposed commission, H.R. 1955, otherwise known as the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, is a slick piece of legislation. The way it reads, we are heading straight for an Authoritarian style government (like we are not in one already!). This new bill is to be added to Title VIII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, another questionable piece of legislation. Where, may one ask, is representation for We the People? The vote for passage in the House of Representatives was 404 ayes to 6 nays and 22 representatives not voting. People on the right or the left think their representation is the best, but quite frankly, there is clearly little difference. Of the fifteen sponsors for this bill, eleven of them are Democrats. The bill has now moved to the Senate for approval, with its two sponsors being Republican. The title, alone, is offensive. Homegrown Terrorism? It will come as no surprise, but the language is also extremely vague. Take the very first line: To prevent homegrown terrorism and for other purposes. The Senate version has similar language: To establish the National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism, and for other purposes. Honestly, for other purposes? We pay these people how much and we get for other purposes in a piece of legislation governing the United States of America? Can they be more vague? Furthermore, why arent more US citizens outraged at such unclear language?
