our doorstep. It's a new law called the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown
Terrorism Prevention Act, and it is worded in a clever way that could allow
the U.S. government to arrest and incarcerate any individual who speaks
out against the Bush Administration, the war onIraq, the Department of
Homeland Security or any government agency (including the FDA). The law
has already passed the House on a traitorous vote of 405 to 6, and it is
now being considered in the Senate where a vote is imminent. All over the
internet, intelligent people who care about freedom are speaking out against
this extremely dangerous law: Philip Giraldi at the Huffington Post, Declan
McCullagh at CNET's News.com, Kathryn Smith at OpEdNews.com... read on:
