Thought Crime Prevention Bill?

Introduced by Rep. Jane Hartman (CA) and has 14 co-sponsors which include Al Green (TX) and Ted Poe (TX). The resolution was sent 10/24/2007 to the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs.

It looks to me like this legislation targets the civilian population of the United States and specifically targets the growing number of people that are demanding the restoration of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Look at the definitions…”VIOLENT RADICALIZATION”…perhaps your promotion of supporting a particular candidate for office to advance political and social change? Maybe someone like RON PAUL?? How about “HOMEGROWN TERRORISM”…do you write opinion pieces? Letters to the Editor? Have a blog on the Internet where you espouse your thoughts and ideas? Now drop on down to Sec. 899B, where Congress finds that “…the Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization and the homegrown terrorism process…”. How soon will it be before the Internet is government regulated? Here is the text of the resolution:
