Bad legislation warning -- the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown
Terrorism Prevention Act"

This bill, known as HR 1955 in the House, and S 1959 in the Senate, has
passed in the House by a 404-6 vote, and is currently in the Senate, and
enjoys strong support from both Senators Barack Obama and John McCain.

Ostensibly purposed to establish a permanent commission to study the
forces that create domestic terrorism, the bill itself uses broad
definitions which construe most traditional non-violent political
activism as "force" and thus "Homegrown Terrorism."

This bill is a major step in the incrementalist approach towards a state
of permanent martial law in the United States.
