YOU can stop the "Thought Crimes" Act (H.R.1955 / S.1959) with just one click!

Posted December 10th, 2007 by phoobaar

I've seen a lot of people talking about H.R. 1955 & S. 1959, and I've wondered how many have actually contacted Congress about them. I've had a link to "stop the Thought Crimes Act with one click" in my signature for some time now, and have wondered how many people who have seen it have bothered to visit the link. Rather than continue wondering, I'm asking:

Have you contacted Congress yet?

If the answer is no, then may I ask why not? If you think it is a difficult process, think again! You don't even have to pick up the phone; you can e-mail them! And you don't even have to think of something to write; you can simply fill in your name and address and click "send"! Will you do that now?

Please visit the following link: http://capwiz.com/jbs/iss...

Now that you've seen how easy it is, won't you please zip off a quick e-mail to everyone in your address book, and tell them how easy and important this is?

Thank you!

(Note: You MUST use your real contact information! The CapWiz system uses this to determine which Congresspeople to contact on your behalf, and Congress themselves use it to determine if you are a legitimate constituent. They may contact you for verification, although I've never heard from them.)

No worries on the database

I'm sure I'm in Obama's and Durbin's by now. Pretty sure they are getting sick of my emails and post mails complaining about every single thing they do. It's pretty normal I think that they get emails from constituents that disagree with them or urge them to take specific actions on bills. Not like they listen anyways. I have however received very personal responses in the past addressing my concerns while gently telling me to get bent.

Obama Supports S1959/HR1955

This is important because:

Obama is on the 17-member Senate Committee for Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, where S. 1959 was introduced by Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) Aug. 2.

... Ron Paul plug in your email. This was mine:

Before I begin, I need to state that I am indebted to Ron Paul for ending my apathy towards American politics and for tempering my own philosophies of what defending liberty truly means.

Now for the bill in question ...

I like it!

On December 10th, 2007 phoobaar says:

I used my own personalized letter, and made no reference to anyone by name, but if you want to do so, go for it! If some people are too lazy and just want to click "send," that's OK too! :-)

But we DO need to flood Congress with this, or it's going to pass by a landslide like it did in the House. :-(

Thank-you

Thank-you for making a reply to our representatives so easy.
I have written numerous post referring to Ron Paul's courage. Freedom comes with a price-what doesn't
I am trying to get as many people to donate on December 16th as possible, even if it is $10.

No, thank YOU! I'm just

On December 10th, 2007 phoobaar says:

No, thank YOU! I'm just passing along a link to an excellent resource. This legislation terrifies me, and I want everyone else to be just as scared as I am...scared enough to stop it.

database???

On December 10th, 2007 eilif says:

So keep quiet then like most Americans and get what you don't want.
Or stand up for your freedom and yes it does take risking something.
If you are not willing to risk standing up and being counted then perhaps we should all just cave in now and beg for some kindness from those that want to rule us.

Exactly...

On December 10th, 2007 RP-Rocks says:

How can anybody who sees what Dr. Paul is doing, standing up for us... for our freedom, be cowardly enough to not speak up for what's right because they are afraid of being put in some database. That's very sad.

I... by the way, sent the emails to my Senators letting them know that I detest that horrible piece of legislation.

Great quote! Come on people,

On December 10th, 2007 phoobaar says:

Great quote! Come on people, don't be sunshine patriots!

If this "database" exists, Ron Paul supporters should want to be on it. It is a badge of honor.

Exactly!

On December 10th, 2007 phoobaar says:

Exactly!

And should we assume that those who are afraid of this supposed database have NOT donated to the Paul campaign? Because make no bones about it, if there IS such a database, every name on that list is in it! You're supporting the man who has promised to bring them down! I'd call that colluding with the enemy, which is a bit worse than asking your Senator not to make it illegal to think.

Exactly..

Can you imagine how Dr. Paul feels? Talk about a BRAVE soul.....

Truly. If he is willing to

On December 10th, 2007 phoobaar says:

Truly. If he is willing to put his LIFE on the line for US, the least we can do is put our NAMES on every list of PATRIOTS in existence. Show me this database please, so I can request direct inclusion.

sassy!

Good to see that the spirit of 1776 is still alive.

That's what many are afraid

That's what many are afraid of, getting put in a database....which just goes to show how crazy things have gotten. People are AFRAID of repercussions from our government if they write in and tell them they don't like what the government is doing.

I figure..

We're all already in such a database. So, I'd rather go down kicking than licking!

Right

Right on!

Then we deserve whatever

Senator McConell

On December 10th, 2007 ColonelGlover says:

I wrote my Senator who also happens to be the Senate Minority leader and he wrote back saying I was mistaken that all this is is a gov't comissioned study which will never interfere with my rights. He said he "proudly" supports other measures such as the Patriot Act, MCA, etc which defend me from terrorists.

ACK! The bastard.

Ack, indeed!

On December 10th, 2007 phoobaar says:

Ack, indeed! :-(

It's as easy as it sounds!

On December 10th, 2007 JeffnDallas says:

I did this two weeks ago and contacted both of my senators regarding this bill. It took 5 minutes to do both, well worth the effort!

Thanks! -Signature- Liberals

straight into a database you go... HAHA!

Are you seriously going to

On December 10th, 2007 phoobaar says:

Are you seriously going to just let them run roughshod over the Constitution because you're afraid of being put on some list? And which list troubles you, that of Congress, or of JBS? If the latter, I can direct you to a page for your Congressperson, if you want to name them for me. I'm willing to do that if you really don't trust JBS. If you're worried about the former, well, all I can say is...they're counting on your silence.

Note that CapWiz is run by Capitol Advantage not JBS. There are hundreds of advocacy groups that use the system to advance their own positions; it is merely a piece of software. For example, GOA uses CapWiz to send out e-mail alerts on 2nd amendment issues. Google "powered by Capitol Advantage" to see that it is not a JBS e-mail spam tool.
