Ron Paul Remarks on HR 1955

Owing to the vagueness of S1959, none of us knows what it means. Not the least of us Corporate America nor The Media.

Case in point: Burger King currently airs a tv commercial in which one customer rams another with his car in order to get to the drive-in window quicker. If I were a Commissioner of the newly created S1959 commission on violent radicalization, I'd interpret this mass media demonstration as a thought to promote social change, and based on the Congress' findings, something to be eradicated.

This coming weekend, the M.J. Morning Show, a live radio broadcast in several Florida and Missouri F.C.C. approved markets, will recreate the Burger King car rampage by smashing a van into a lexus at a borrowed Burger King drive-in, with Burger King management's endorsement. The incident will be video and audio taped and placed on the M.J Morning Show website and broadcast on the air Monday, May 14.

If I were a Commissioner of the newly created S1959 commission on violent radicalization, then I'd interpret this mass media demonstration as a thought to promote social change, and based on the Congress' findings, something to be eradicated.

The bill empowers the Department of Unknowable Defense (DUD), otherwise known as DHS, to work with other agencies (e.g., FCC, SEC, ICC) to "eradicate" those who promote violent radicalization by people "born" and "operating" domestically.

Burger King and M.J., you better get your work done before this bill passes!

On second thought, maybe it doesn't matter when you do it because the bill's language doesn't specify whether your harmful acts today will be considered after the bill's signed into law. It's all up to how the Commissioners feel about you, I suppose...

I have been up to my ears in H.R.1955 for the last two days. I literally have to be told to take breaks because I loose track of time. lol

PROBLEM: While HR1955 has indeed passed the House vote with (as I understand it) 404 Y, and only 6 N’s, it has yet to go any further. It has not been voted on by the Senate or reviewed by the President. It is still an extremely dangerous piece of legislature but I hope knowing it’s only in it’s baby phase will give you the little piece of mind it gave me. You can check my info here:
http://www.opencongress.o...

The Bill was amended and is known as S.1959 in the Senate. Very little has happened there too. It was read twice in the Senate but that’s it. No vote was taken. It was referred to the Senate Committee of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and has remained there since August of 2007. This should be taken as a sign of hope. We still have time to make our voice heard BEFORE the bill is passed.
http://www.opencongress.o...

As per the little charts on those two websites, it is my conclusion that neither HR1955 nor S1959 are able to be passed without first being voted on by both Congressional parties. To recap:

HR1955: Passed in House but not Senate
S1959: No vote was cast in either House or Senate and is now stuck in Committee of Homeland Security.

SOLUTION: Call your Senators and ask them if they are a part of the Senate Committee of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. If they are start emailing/faxing/calling/etc. the crap out of them. to express your opposition to this bill. lol.But remember to be nice. The government are OUR employees but we DON'T HAVE TO BE NASTY to make our voices heard. A true employer who has control of the situation is firm and assertive but never nasty or petty.

WE CAN STOP THIS ONE!!!! We just need a little team effort!

Thanks Dr. Paul.

I was just talking about this topic to my father this morning. He does not have a computer and he wondered why he has never heard of this.

Even though as American citizens, we should have been keeping an eye on what Congress has been doing all along - which is why we are in the mess we are in now - it behooves all of us, especially in these days running up to the elections to keep an eye on what they are doing in Washington, as Ron Paul has to be on the road all the time.

He missed the vote on HR 1955 much to his dismay because it was rushed through under "suspension of regular order".

I see more of this type of antic coming up along the way as it is clear sailing for this rabid bunch to sneak more through with Dr. No out of the way!

Outside of only 6 people voting No on this sneaky bill that has the potential to remove more of our liberty, I say throw them all out of office as they don't deserve to be called our "servants"!

So, while Dr. Paul is busy running his campaign, we must keep our eyes upon Congress.

We should do fund raising and protest march on Dr. kings birthday. January 16th. 2008

Thanks.

I'm glad you posted this. I'm sure many of us were curious about Ron Paul's position...now it is clear that he would have voted against it.

I wrote about this on my blog. Check it out and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

They rushed the vote through on HR1955 with little or no discussion which is extremely unusual on a bill like this. Isn't it strange that they happened to rush it through when Dr Paul was campaigning? NOT, this is why it happened because they knew he would fight it wholeheartedly. When all of these House members voted it in with an overwhelming majority, which my Senator voted yes, they might have well have burned the Constitution.

The bill is now S1959 in the Senate Committee for Homeland Security. We have to keep a very close eye on it to see if it hits the Senate floor for discussion and a vote. The Senate could very well do the same thing as the House and rush it through without discussion. I've already called my Senators and let them know to kill this bill.

Here is the link for S1959 and this link also shows HR1955 which was passed in the House. You can see if your Representative voted for it or not.

We've got to kill this in the senate.

Does anyone here know how to edit wikipedia articles?

I think it is of value to note Dr. Paul's statement to congress in the article in strongly objecting to this resolution.

We have purchased a permanent chat room for Ron Paul meetups and supporters. Come visit us at http://www.buzzen.net/cha...

We should start rallying "campaign bombs" or something like that so that whenever a congresscritter puts something like this on the floor they get hammered with letters and emails, and not just from their respective constituents....all of us!!

Let them know that "WE the people" are watching "THEM"!!!

I'm so glad Ron Paul at least addressed this in Congress after not being able to vote on the House bill.

Upon discovering the House passed this bill over a month ago, I wrote letters to Senators Boxer & Feinstein (here in Cali). In the letters I voiced concern about this bill coming across as "harmless" to the average citizen. In fact, I believe this bill can be used in so many ways to encroach on many of our freedoms due to its vague language, especially as supporters of this "radical" candidate who use the internet to spread word and persuade others to look into the wrong-doings of the powers-that-be. The language in this bill is pretty scary, when you read the whole thing. I can't believe how many members of the House voted yes. It saddens me, but it gives me much more fire in my belly to get our man elected!!!

In love, liberty and truth,
Kelly
RON PAUL 2008

One further step toward fascism.

We need to spread this news and apply pressure to Senators and congressman who voted for this bill. there are so many vague definitions that they can pretty much regulate anything online with this bill.

threw the debates Ron Pauls message has reached thousands.. threw the internet the Revolution has snowballed!.. the elite has owned both parties the past 70 years.. threw the media they got the person elected they wanted elected. because of the media outlet they don't control which is the internet they are about to lose power.. now with this bill and others like hr1955, they are attempting to control the internet and your opinion. It is very important that you call your senator and congressmen to tell them that this turkey of a bill don't fly!

Click on the link... scroll down and fill in your info and it automatically sends a letter to your state senators. Then afterwards, it gives you the option to forward it to six friends. I did both and it made me feel pretty good... go ahead... try it. :)

I hope that I am mistaken, but I think this bill is before the Senate now. It has already gotten through Congress.

Found this link yesterday on this site to e-mail petition your local Senator to vote against HR 1955. WE must stop this bill! I urge everyone to voice their opposition to this rag!
http://www.capwiz.com/jbs...

... are feverishly being hammered in place by the government, with horrible legislation like this, to keep something like what we are doing right now for Dr. Paul from ever being able to happen and threaten their dominance again. Believe it my friends, and double your efforts, because this is probably our last chance for true Freedom in this country.

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." -Thomas Paine

Legislation such as this demands heavy-handed governmental action against American citizens where no crime has been committed. It is yet another attack on our Constitutionally protected civil liberties. It is my sincere hope that we will reject such approaches to security, which will fail at their stated goal at a great cost to our way of life.

It would have been enough. He is so amazing at speech writing and delivering. What an excellent speech. Of course, my guess is no one in attendance was listening to him as usual.

Well, good Sir, we are listening and we will make a loud noise across this Nation on December the 16th. Tea will be the most popular drink that day!!

about HR 1955. There has been a complete blackout on this by the corporate controlled media.

Go to any major newspaper and search:

HR 1955 - Zip, Zero Nada

Violent radicalization - you will find violent and radicalization, but not together.

Homegrown terrorism - you will get a bunch of hits, but nothing relating to HR 1955.

The American public would be outraged if they knew about this Bill. Someone needs to shed some sunshine on this legislation and who better than Ron Paul.

As I've stated in other threads, I have some significant disagreements with Paul on certain domestic issues. But I have to vote for him anyway, and speeches like this explain why. I think the same is true for many of his other supporters.

For one thing it gives RP a chance to explain why he missed the vote. They snuck it in there (shades of 1913).

This bill is major league scary!! And the fact that it receives huge bipartisan support, is double scary.

I feel like a guy locked in a cell with a madman. He doesn't do anything overt. He just sits in the corner and smiles at me. Meanwhile the guards off and on hand him knives, guns and bullets. He just piles them up and smiles at me.

Is that too creepy for the AM?
am I over-reacting?

Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump Bump

Excellent speach.

www.ronpaul2008.com

We the people NEED Dr. Ron Paul for President.

The government is laying the foundation at an ever increasing rate to strip us of OUR rights. Do not stand by and do nothing while our liberties are stripped away bit by bit.

...so don't know if anyone saw this. Seems important enough to bump (as does anything written by RP himself)...
