Grassroots America, A Non Profit
*November 26, 2007*

 *Greetings!*

As my daughter threw herself onto Independence Ave last month in her
passionate plea to stop the second deployment of her brother and respect
the earth at the "No War, No Warming" protest, she did not know about
this upcoming senate bill.  This bill that passed 404-6 in the house is
poised to pass in our Senate. This bill looks to make myself, my
daughter and all others who participate in non-violent, civil
disobedience a potential terrorist.
Please call your senator and oppose S 1959.

Thank you again for all your support.
Tina Richards

If this bill is passed, and becomes law, your words and actions could be
considered terrorism.  S 1959 EVISCERATES FREE SPEECH, and empowers the
govt. to declare ANYTHING they deem an "extremist belief system",
instantly make you a terrorist, resulting in stripping of US
citizenship, torture, and/or execution, with no habeas corpus rights, no
ability to challenge even in the US Supreme Court.

Contact your Senator and let them know they will be looking for another
job if they vote yes on this bill, which is now introduced into the
Senate as S.1959 THIS BILL **MUST NOT** BECOME LAW, PERIOD.

If this becomes law, your words could be considered "promoting an
extremist belief system", and all they have to say is that you are using
PLANNED OR THREATENED *FORCE* (DOES NOT HAVE TO BE VIOLENCE) --FORCE by
exposing CORRUPTION, CRIMINALITY against "THE CIVILIAN POPULATION OF THE
UNITED STATES, *****OR ANY SEGMENT THEREOF" READ THE BILL MANY TIMES AND
VERY CAREFULLY--YOU ARE THE TERRORIST (WHICH MEANS THEY CAN STRIP YOUR
CITIZENSHIP, AND HAVE YOU TORTURED AND EXECUTED).

Call their local and DC offices.  Go to their offices.  Find out where
your Senator is and tell him no to HR 1959.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious,
makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't even
passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears
and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've
got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run
it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will
be prevented from working at all!" - Mario Savio
