Your notion of targeting thought itself is fundamentally un-American, and as the foundation on which the entire bill rests, is so flawed that this bill cannot be amended. Instead, it must be stopped in its tracks, sum total.
The “recommendations” to be made by this Commission are neither of a known nature to us, nor are they defined or mentioned in the bill. This leaves plenty of room for “other purposes” as your bill states.
Your bill claims not to target any one cross-sector of society, yet sets up a Commission to study the thought patterns of college students specifically, and “radical“ citizens just as specifically. And then to have “Recommendations” made which lead to…..WHAT??? Come on, Americans, use your brains! These “recommendations” are bound to lead to more legislation, scenarios, and dynamics aplenty. While we pay our taxes just to fund our own abuse!
No, Sen. Collins and Rep. Harmon, we are not going to take this. No, we will not lie down passively. No, we will not wage violent warfare in order to overturn this bill, (even if you yourselves are also perfectly willing to wage violent warfare against our own kids by opening up the purse to fund wars based on lies). But you’d better believe we also will do our part to see to it that Americans know just exactly what it is you are really up to, and who you profess to be vs. who you really are. Knowledge is power: Once we see through your act, you can snare us no more.
Armed with the power of clear understanding, no longer will you be able to recruit us to spy against our neighbors. No longer will we be eyeballing each other with needless suspicion based on your alarmist trumpet. No longer will you succeed in your plans to break up the grassroots by planting the seeds of dissension. Because We, the People have the power of choice. There is nothing you can do to wreak havoc, once we all “Get it” and see through it.
Please let’s not forget that we PAY you to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution. You are not The Deciders, and neither is anybody in public office. You work for us, not the other way around!
The responsibility for violent action lies squarely with the people who do it. Let‘s be very clear about that. But the responsibility for generating the desperation and hostility giving rise to that wrongful action lies just as squarely with the perpetrators (the U.S. Government). Let’s be just as clear about that. By stating “it is either with us or you are against us” and targeting citizens (and legislation) accordingly; by hunting down “terrorist” civilians while opening up the purse so our kids can die based on lies while we pay for it; by describing the problem of Violently Radicalized Beliefs and Homegrown Terrorism…. politicians are describing their self-created political spectrum and personalized facts---as usual----with stunning accuracy.
It is time for you to step down from public office, Ms. Harmon and Ms Collins.
a) Because you have the nerve to target free thinking in America; b) because you freely use the code word “terrorist” interchangeably with “activist” and “vocal citizens”; c) because you call the Internet a breeding ground for homegrown terrorism and basically are trying to extinguish free communication on the Web; d) because you are setting up our college kids as prime examples of “homegrown terrorists and radically violent” citizens; e) because you want to see infiltrators discouraging and intimidating the free speech of our college students, even while you profess the opposite; f) because you yourselves voted for the Patriot Act twice and know first-hand that warrantless FBI arrests without probable cause go hand-in-hand with government infiltration; g) because you know perfectly well that American law already more than adequately protects us from violence and that to target any one cross-sector of society is unconstitutional:
It is time for you to step down. Dreamers and schemers who are themselves Violently Radicalized Homegrown Terrorists, projecting their own dark side onto an entire nation of people and describing themselves with stunning accuracy, do not belong in public office. On OUR tax dollars. Period. End.
