The unintended consequences of government policy should scare everyone. Be warned of the unintended consequences of the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007
You and I — almost all reading this — are “homegrown.” No question about that.
What if our ordinary political speech were defined as a “thought crime,” an incitement to terrorism?
The vague language of the “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007” could lead to redefining anyone’s statements about liberty and change. What if those who advocate political change were defined as terrorists?This legislation would chill free speech and the exercise of liberty. Please ask your Senators to oppose it.
