Corporate Amnesty vs. Your Privacy : BIG VOTE THIS WEEK!

If the Bush Administration gets its way this week in the US Congress, Bush and the big telecommunications corporations will never be held accountable for years of illegal spying on Americans, and that spying will again be authorized.

Add your voice in opposition! Tell your representative to--

"SAY NO TO TELECOM AMNESTY AND WARRANTLESS WIRETAPS!"

Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 now!


Or, you can sign an online petition to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, encouraging them to stand up and protect the U.S. Constitution in the face of the Bush Administration's power grab.

The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act

By now you’ve probably heard of the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act (HR 1955 and S1959) which passed the house with 404 votes in favor, six votes against. This bill, ghost written by the Rand Corporation, and authored by (D) Jane Harmon of California, expands the definition of terrorism to include American citizens who may have a difference of opinion from the current administration. This includes you!

House Resolution 1955 “directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to: (1) establish a grant program to prevent radicalization (use of an extremist belief system for facilitating ideologically-based violence) and homegrown terrorism in the United States; (2) establish or designate a university-based Center of Excellence for the Study of Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism in the United States; and (3) conduct a survey of methodologies implemented by foreign nations to prevent radicalization and homegrown terrorism.” This legislation targets activists and the internet as the vanguard of “radicalization”.

The legislation “prohibits the Department of Homeland Security's efforts to prevent ideologically-based violence and homegrown terrorism from violating the constitutional and civil rights, and civil liberties, of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.” This seems unlikely given that the entire legislation creates the further justification for the government to “study” and investigate us based upon a perceived intent. Huh?

Yes, you and I are both implied in this broad sweep by our very presence on this webpage.

Currently this legislation sits in the Senate as S 1959 in the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. These are 17 of the most uptight cats you might want to call and bother about the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act.
