"Homegrown Terrorism Act" Vote in the Senate
Just a heads up to everyone....
Barack Obama sits on the Senate Homeland Security Committee that is headed by Indycrat Joe Lieberman. The House already passed "The Homegrown Terrorism Act" last fall by an overwhelming vote of 404-6 (introduced by AIPAC's own Jane Harman (D) CA), and the Senate Committee is now considering the legislation (SB 1959).
This legislation should be titled "The Stifling of Dissent Act" because that is exactly what it's intention is. In the hearing Jane "I think destroying those torture tapes would be a BAD IDEA" Harman invited the heads of The Rand Corporation ("think tank") and The Simon Wiesenthal Center ("never again") to testify. At one point, the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Mark Weitzman did a Power Point presentation and brought up the website of "Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth" as a potential "national security threat" because the group, via it's website and outreach, is convincing MILLIONS of Americans that the "official story" of 9/11 should not be trusted.
Here's the website he pointed out:
ae911truth.org/
You will note an exchange of letters between the head of AE911truth.org and Mark Weitzman on this website (and an excellent speech and presentation on 9/11 by Richard Gage).
The questions to Barack Obama are these: What is your position on this legislation that has been crafted to intimidate the American people from seeking the truth and speaking out on 9/11 and other issues? Will you stop campaigning to go back to D.C. and participate in the discussions on this legislation? If not, why not?
Because if it's not important enough for Barack Obama to discuss this legislation publicly and come out forcefully against it, he doesn't deserve one nanosecond of our time, money or support. And neither will Hillary Clinton, Christopher Dodd or Joe Biden if they support it.
(Kucinich voted against it and Ron Paul was absent but has clearly stated he is opposed to it.)
