Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Democrat Congress is increasing the value of freedom by making it rare.

Thanks. I know they plan on shutting any opposition down, but, I didn't know it went to that extent. I cry for my country's future and it pisses me off that I do.

Those who will not be constrained by the Constitution of the United States will not be constrained by anything.
If only the Democrats were the only ones who are led by constitutional morons.

Good article. Thanks for writing it and posting it.

Boon we'll be forced to print handbills on manual printing presses in our basements under the threat of execution if caught.

Another "well done" joanie. You're probably aware Focus on the Family and the American Family Association have both sent out flyers re this "issue". Several have been posted on FR with sickeningly little response. I think that says a lot more about the membership of FR than most of us would like to admit.
I hope your well chosen words and style will create more interest in this most recent attack on our God given, Constitutinally guaranteed rights than has been previously shown. I won't be holding my breath gal.
Keep up the fight.

Lott is a (R), although I agree he doesn't deserve the letter after his name...

I agree. My poor grandchildren will never know the country I grew up in. They won't know what it was like. I'll tell them stories of how it used to be and they may roll their eyes and think, granny's gone off the edge again. They'll see the United States of America in history books. When they're older it'll be the North American Union.
I now thank God my pop is dead and never lived to see what's happening to the country he fought for, 'twice'.

Some valuable additional research, posted by a friend who is a former FReeper, on my weblog:
Doing some further research into the sausage-making process at the Senate, it seems like Section 220 was added as an amendment to S.1 by Harry Reid on Jan 9th. He had the following co-sponsors, so the idea that the three republican co-conspirators weren't aware of Section 220 is now toast.
McConnell [R-KY], Feinstein [D-CA] Bennett [R-UT], Sen Lieberman [D-CT], Collins [R-ME], Obama [D-IL], Salazar [D-CO], and Durbin [D-IL].
The amendment was discussed on Jan 10th without a quorum present.
It was discussed again on the 11th, with a quorum this time, but after reading as much of the Congressional Record as I could stomach, I could find no discussion of Section 220 at all. My eyes glazed over while reading Robert "Sheets" Byrd's senile rant on the Iraq war, which somehow the old geezer managed to force the senate to listen to. I think everybody just wanted to go home at that point.
Then 43 democrats and three republicans (Lott, Voinovich, and Bennett) tried to table the amendments and summarily pass the bill. They were outvoted by 51-46. They tried again several times later that evening until senators drifted away to attend to more important matters (football game?) and a quorum was no longer present.
It was that close to passing with absolutely no discussion, folks...

Thanks for the alert. That is a typo, of course. Wish I could fix it. :(

Those who will not be constrained by the Constitution of the United States will not be constrained by anything. Bears repeating, and very careful consideration by those who are more interested in what Rosie and Donald are doing than in their own ability to voice their grievances.

Soon we'll be forced to print handbills on manual printing presses in our basements under the threat of execution if caught. Not really as far-fetched as some might think. Give it a few years.
