- Good news from Congress! Onerous Sec. 220 of the Senate's
Lobby Reform bill, defeated by the providence of God and the political
and religious right in January, has been omitted from Pelosi's new House
version. This does not exclude possible Democratic attempts to reattach
it in some form during the upcoming conference between the House and Senate.
Yet, Sec. 220, with its ambition to impose crushing paperwork requirements
on small Christian/conservative activists (on penalty of $100,000 fine)
seems defeated -- at least for this session of Congress.
-
- New Threat Emerges
-
- But how does liberal Jewish activism, epitomized
by senators Carl Levin and Joe Lieberman, sponsors of Sec. 220, respond
to the amputation of this arm of their Orwellian "thought crimes"
agenda? Like the starfish, they grow another! Fellow Jewish activist Rep.
Henry Waxman has now introduced similar legislation, just as sinister,
to take its place in the Lobby Reform bill. Waxman's "Executive Branch
Reform Act," H.R. 984, would bring the democratic process to a crawl,
not just on the grassroots level but at its furthest extreme, among more
than 9,000 employees of the executive branch of government. Waxman contends
every American is a "citizen lobbyist," whose pointed comments
or suggestions to the federal government should be carefully recorded and
then made public. In Waxman's brave new world, Joe Q. Citizen is no longer
viewed as a welcome source of input to the federal government. Rather,
only Waxman and select colleagues, primarily in Congress, the intelligence
community, and the military, are allowed to communicate freely with one
another. The common American is viewed as a potential source of unhealthy
opinions (i.e., grassroots lobbying efforts).
-
- Because of such potential "corruption"
of federal officials by heartland America, H.R. 984 will require all members
of the executive branch to keep records of every call from concerned citizens.
Such federal employees must even keep records of conversations during work
or at a bar after work or even from their spouses in bed -- input which
might be construed as desiring to influence national policy. These records
must include names, date, and detailed information about the content of
each conversation.
-
- Every quarter those federal employees must
file a mountain of documentation with the government. Failure to report
accurately and on time means, at minimum, loss of their job. It can also
mean a $50,000 fine.
-
- The federal government will then take this
data and publish it for the world to see. This, Waxman contends, is "openness
in government." H.R. 984 means the government, which should be responsive
to free petition, comment and criticism from the American people, will
find its paperwork obligations so burdensome that the only way to govern
will be by isolation from the public. This sinister legislation demolishes
free exchange between citizens and those who govern, helping create a "big
brother" police state. The government will know everything about us
while we would be afraid to raise our heads in comment or protest for fear
of even greater federal control over our lives.
-
- Preparing for Takeover
-
- In early January when I sounded the first
alarms on radio and internet against Sec. 220, I warned that, if passed,
the bill's promoters would ask for even more than crushing paperwork requirements
on all grassroots organizations: They would demand registration of everyone
who petitions Congress. H.R. 984 comes pretty close to that. (For a much
fuller discussion of the absurd and yet frightening implications of this
bill, go to the National Right to Life Committee's excellent article at
www.nrlc.org/FreeSpeech/WaxmanDavisArticle.pdf)
-
- Some might reply, "It's high time the
federal government began to suffer under overwhelming paperwork obligations
just like they have imposed on us!" Yet this legislation will do nothing
to humble government or create equality in the public process. Instead,
it will dramatically hasten federal involvement in our daily lives at every
level.
-
- In the years preceding the communist revolutions
in Russia, China and Cuba, revolutionaries quietly gathered the names and
detailed personal information on every potential opponent. When revolution
finally came, they knew exactly whom to liquidate. Over a 150 million were
slaughtered. The Anti-Defamation League has a long and tawdry history of
secretly and illegally gathering the names of tens of thousands of its
political opponents, including Christian /conservatives, pro-lifers and
Muslims. Levin, Lieberman, Waxman, and a host of other activist Jews in
Congress are all part of ADL's inner circle. There can be no doubt that
legislation which intends to identify every potential opponent has only
one object in mind: to empower elimination of those opponents when such
Jewish activists take over, as they did in Russia in 1917.
-
- Stop Waxman Before It's Too Late
-
- Nancy Pelosi wants to pass her new lobby
reform bill, including H.R. 984, immediately. It is vital NOW to call members
of your congressional delegation with the following message: "Please
do not pass Rep. Waxman's bill H.R. 984, which requires executive branch
officials to report all their conversations with concerned Americans. This
violates our First Amendment rights as well as the right of petition."
The toll free number is 1-877-851-6437. (Toll is 1-202-224-3121.)
-
- Massive protest defeated Levin and Lieberman's
Sec. 220. Now, intense protest can kill its replacement. H.R. 984 has already
passed Waxman's Committee on Oversight and Government Reform by a vote
of 20-0! If it is inserted quietly in the House version of the Lobby Reform
bill and passed by the House and Senate to become law, I will hold to my
prediction: Jewish activists in Congress will legislate for yet another
cinch of the noose -- requiring that everyone who proposes to call Congress
even once must register as a "citizen lobbyist." Failure to comply:
$50,000 fine. Penalty for repeated offenses: prison.
