The war profiteers are counting their money
And using it to keep these useless, futile wars going!
Stop HR 1966
To amend title 18, United States Code, with respect to
cyberbullying.
If it were not so laughably unconstitutional, the Megan Meier
Cyberbullying Prevention Act would truly be cause for concern,
criminalizing as it does a broad spectrum of speech protected by the
First Amendment. Proposed by Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.), the law
would make it a felony punishable by up to two years in prison to
transmit by electronic means any communication “with the
intent
to coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress
to a person…to support severe, repeated, and hostile
behavior.”
My opinion of Ms. Sanchez has gone into the toilet as a result of this
idiocy
Write Rep. Sanchez!
Stop HR 875
One of the most potentially dangerous bills we've ever heard of is
trying to sneak its way through Congress right now, in the sheep's
clothing of so-called "modernization" of food safety. HR 875 (text of
bill) is a bill put up by Monsanto and other monolithic corporations
trying to seize totalitarian control over all agriculture. It was
introduced by Rosa DeLauro, whose husband WORKS for Monsanto, and is
ultimately about one thing, defining ONLY their own GMO products as
"safe".
What makes the bill so dangerous is that it is heavy on penalties
including prison time, while at the same time being incredibly vague
about what would actually trigger those sanctions. HR 875 is nothing
but a Trojan horse, with an invading army to be designated later, in
the form of an bureaucratic administrator (most likely a corporate
lobbyist shill) with draconian LAW MAKING POWER to make up their own
definitions so that all competitors are either driven into bankruptcy
or locked up. There are problems with food safety we can talk about,
but HR 875 is not going to make us safer, any more than invading Iraq
made us safer. It
MUST be stopped.
Plenty of folks are quite
concerned that the
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA)
negotiations are being negotiated secretly. This is a treaty
that
needs to be stopped
it is quite troubling as it will require various
countries,
including the US, to update their copyright laws in a draconian manner.
