Those who prevent peaceful revolution make violent revolution inevitable. ********** [232407:041908] C.H., Tucson, AZ I would hope that you, my democratically elected representative, still honor the very constitution that you swore to uphold and vote in the negative on this bill. I encourage you to remember what this country once stood for and take a step in the right direction to keep our freedoms from being imposed on even further. ********** [105737:040308] E.L., Randallstown, MD Don't pass this bill. ********** [073749:031608] D.V., Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA Slowly but surely this administration is stripping away at the Americans privacy and other rights. This bill is an exact and explicit example of the erosion of said privacy and rights. This administration has a blatant and arrogant disregard for the Constitution of the United States that they all swore to uphold when they told office 7 1/2 years ago. Please do not become part of the problem by endorsing this bill or any like it in the future. You as legislators also swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States when you took office. Please honor your promise to me and all Americans. ********** [130226:031008] R.S., Washougal, WA The passing of this Bill would mean the end to our freedoms. Things we now take for granted, sharing our ideas, our thoughts, our diverse views through the use of verbal or written communication, Our everyday rights as americans could be judged/deemed by the government as being an ACT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT! As the people's Representative for we as a group-the american people you represent, we emplore you-you must use your voice to speak out against this violation of our Constitutional Rights- you MUST NOT let this Bill be passed. Your decision will alter the future. Please make the right decision, and oppose this Bill! Sincerely, Roby Sargent ********** [052830:021108] T.S., Roanoke, VA I am an American and registered to vote. As an American I have rights endowed to me by my Creator as aknowledged in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I respect those rights for others, even the fascist elements in our government that would seek to destroy all that is American. That does not mean that I accept their legislation and I clearly say to all the representative in both house of Congress that you are honored bound by your oath of office to protect the American people from threat...both foreign and domestic, and you vowed to protect the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Unfortunately in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy most of Congress become scared sheep and voted for the Patriot Act which in retrospect seems to be more about controlling the American people than its purported purpose of fighting terrorism. Since the enactment of that vile law the American people have seen their rights gutted by the questionable Bush administration that has made it clear that they don't respect the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or rule of law which was at one time sacred to the American people. It stll is sacred to the American people, and the elected member of Congress must act in our best interests. This bill is anathema and anti-American. Kill it and get about the job you were hired to do, protect the people and our sacred documents/institutions. ********** [041258:021108] R.B., Nunn, CO Dear mams and sirs, I think this bill undermines the whole bill of rights and constitution, What r we doing out lawing the exact actions that formed and birthed this great and wonderful nation!

We are america and we will decide our future(THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF EVERY BASE ********** [012503:021108] L.P., Manitou Springs, CO There has been a tremendous amount of alarm expressed recently about H.R. 1955/S. 1959 [text of bill], the self-titled "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007", but which many have dubbed the "Thought Crimes Prevention Bill". The language of the proposed bill is just an idle invitation to totalitarian mischief and must be rejected. this bill is the end of america as we know it effectively outlaws even logical intellectual argument i urge u to read thisbill. this bill must not pass it is vaguer and more open ended than even the nazi's enabling act military law can be declared @ a whim this bill is orwell's nightmare come to life .to pass this law is an act of treason against the united states ,it's constitution and the sacrifices of the people who paid in blood from the revolution to create and preserve this union.stand up for the united states, our way of life, and the constitution defeat this bill ********** [154229:020708] R.C., Daly City, CA stand by the constitution, dont let this bill pass! ********** [154039:020708] E.C., Daly City, CA Dont take out freedom of speech away! ********** [153900:020708] K.C., Daly City, CA H.R. 1955/S. 1959 Is Too Flawed To Pass. ********** [074553:020408] D.N., Sun City West, AZ Don't go down in history as having helped remake America into a Gulag. Oppose H.R. 1955/S. 1959. ********** [182748:012908] S.L., Bloomington, IN To many flaws in any bill is suspect. We are claiming our Independence from the bullies. We WILL prevail. ********** [110204:012408] W.K., Westerville, OH Enough is enough. Please do the right thing. ********** [062233:012208] S.P., Ames, IA How many more actions must we be subjected to, which attempt to deny American citizens of their Constitutional rights? Congress ought be PROTECTING our rights, not attempting to eradicate them. ********** [071126:012008] E.M., Ann Arbor, MI This bill is one step closer to denying citizens their constitutional rights. Our country is becoming more and more like that of a police state, and not at all a democracy. Stop this bill before it passes the Senate! Don't let it pass in the Senate! ********** [071020:012008] E.M., Ann Arbor, MI This bill is one step closer to denying citizens their constitutional rights. Our country is becoming more and more like that of a police state, and not at all a democracy. Stop this bill before it passes the Senate!

That is all I have to say, FU GOVERNMENT.. I dont like the way you are protecting us, very poor jon Wizard ********** [181913:011708] R.D., Sacramento, CA I am against labeling citizens as terrorists without any proof. Just as you put people in Guantanamo! ********** [084413:011708] R.R., Lahaina, HI The United States is divided and needs unification. The last thing we need is another "un-American activites" bill masquerading as a terrorist bill creating more divisiveness. Witch hunts do not attain the desired results. Laws are what are necessary. Subpoenas not rumors should be the guiding principles. ********** [054653:011708] M.S., Berlin, NY Dear Senator, When consdidering this bill, please think of this: How far are we going to go before we lose the foundation of America altogether? Security is important, but so is remembering the ideal that this country was founded on. We want to live in a nation that is not only secure, but is something that we can be proud of. Thank you for reviewing this sincere expression of my citizenship. ********** [221455:011508] d.p., El Monte, CA This bill is a violation of the constitution and voting yes for it is treason. ********** [080009:011508] D.B., Westmont, IL Please contact your representatives and let them know that real Americans oppose giving up our Constitutional rights to free speech and assembly, and will not tolerate this kind of dangerous legislation. This has more in common with Orwell's 1984 than with any democratic country. ********** [040342:011508] C.C., Cambridge, MA H.R.1955/S.1959 is a bill which has "police state" written all over it. It is an invitation to authoritarian abuse and should NOT be given the slightest support. It does not increase security, on the contrary, it undermines it. DO NOT, PLEASE, SUPPORT THIS TRAVESTY! ********** Go Back
