OK, enough about Rush. While everyone was hyperventilating about him, part of our constitution may have been flushed down the toilet and I don't see a word about it here.
I just heard about HR 347, with passed both houses of congress a few days ago with only THREE votes against it.
A bill passed last Monday (Feb. 27) in the US House of Representatives and Thursday (March 1) in the Senate would make it a felony—a serious criminal offense punishable by a lengthy prison term—to participate in many forms of protest associated with the Occupy Wall Street protests of last year. Several commentators have dubbed it the “anti-Occupy” law, but its implications are far broader.
Now, I'm not a lawyer, so I hope there is someone out there who can elaborate on this and please tell me that it doesn't do what I think it does. Here is the text of the bill.
If it really does what I think it does, then THIS is what we should be hyperventilating about. Enough about Rush, who gives a crap about Super Tuesday. THIS may be the most important issue right now.
Please tell me I'm wrong. Sorry I can't stick around, but I gotta go to work.
