Legislate Away Your Freedom of Speech
This time, you can truely blame the Republicans. New legislation (H.R. 3011) sponsored by Mike Rogers (R, AL), Peter KING (R,NY), Daniel Lungren (R, CA), Tim Walberg (R, MI), Chip Cravaack (R, MN), and Mo Brooks (R, AL) want to nullify your First Amendment rights in the name of Homeland Security! This is NO LIE! These representatives proposed legislation to nullify YOUR RIGHTs as granted by the Constitution!
Offending Language
The official name of this bill is "The Transportation Security Administration Authorization Act of 2011." One of the stated purposes is to squelch satire on the TSA! Apparently these sponsors haven't read the US Constitution lately! According to this bill, if convicted, you are a felon for making fun of the TSA! So much for Leno and Letterman late night humor. So much for blogs like this that OBJECT to the abuse TSA provides Americans on a daily basis.
What Were They Thinking?
Unintended consequences? What's that? Just like the Patriot Act, limiting free speech to protect citizens, this bill gives BIG government way too much power while STEALING AWAY American's God-given liberties. So we give up more freedoms to be "safer." RIGHT! This is just STUPID!
Action To Take
Let these well intended Congressmen know that you will not tolerate their STUPIDITY any longer! Call, write, or visit them and demand they kill this legislation immediately!
