ACLJ Demands Retraction from Dept. of Homeland Security on Labelling Pro-Life Supporters as 'Extremists' in Terrorism Report

(Washington, DC) – The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, announced it is launching a national campaign today demanding that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) retract a warning it included in a recent report on domestic terrorism that labels pro-life supporters as ‘extremists.’ At the same time, the ACLJ is notifying all 50 states that the report – and the offensive warning – should not be used to curtail the First Amendment rights of pro-life supporters. Further, the ACLJ is supporting a call for Congressional hearings on the DHS report.

Unfortunately, the DHS is kowtowing to the likes of the ACLU and ACORN and is not listening to the likes the ACLJ.

Why not make it easy for DHS and brand everyone who DIDN’T vote for Obama a terrorist?

Please support ACLJ with financial contributions. Even if it’s a small amount.

I am in no way related to ACLJ or any person related to their organization.

Pray for an end to abortion and the conversion of America to a culture of life.

That is essentially what is being done, as I am sure you meant.

Calling for hearings is a good start. Calling for "retractions" or "apologies" is less than worthless, because we know the threats will simply be moved to documents that we will never see. Their goal of getting us will not change in the least.

Their true colors are out for all to see. Will enough of the people in this country realize what this really means?

I wrote a liberal friend I have known for 20 years. I asked him what was he going to do when the state police came for me and others that fit the DHS profile.

I asked if he was going to watch in silence (like the Germans) or stand up and defend his fellow citizens (like a real American). I have not received an answer yet.

Usually his answer to hard questions like this is an all caps note back calling Bush names. If I get an answer, that will probably be it. So, yes, he and his contemporaries will stand by silently as we are hauled off for reeducation.

Be prepared folks, the majority of people are going to do just that.

Agreed.

Yet we still hear blithering idiots who equate this phony messiah with LBJ or Jimmy Carter.
