pending legislation in the US that would criminalize speech
1-9-08
There is pending legislation in the US that would criminalize speech on topics the government
deems 'threatening.'
The law is called H.R. 1955.
It goes by the Orwellian name: 'The violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism prevention
act.'
It quietly passed the House by a 404 to 6 vote andat least one Congressman admits voting for it
without reading it. (Yeah but this bill would shut us up to chastise him too)
Language in this bill makes it theoretically possible for government agents to shut down
sites like Brasscheck TV by claiming that the information we share *may* insight violence.
Few Americans even know of the existence of this legislation let alone know what's in it.
The Internet can change that - and your help is needed.
