New Bill Could Make You a "Terrorist" Posted: 10 months ago by tvirus
"The end of Free Speech in America has arrived at our doorstep. It's a new law called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, and it is worded in a clever way that could allow the U.S. government to arrest and incarcerate any individual who speaks out against the Bush Administration, the war on Iraq, the Department of Homeland Security or any government agency (including the FDA). The law has already passed the House on a traitorous vote of 405 to 6, and it is now being considered in the Senate where a vote is imminent."
This blog summarizes the bill and links to the full text.

Can you tell the difference between 1 cent and one dollar? What about 1/2 cent and 1/2 dollar? And 0.002 cents and 0.002 dollars? Yeah, this agent, then the supervisor, and finally the manager, all seem to have a problem with that last part. Stick with it, this is worth your time.
