prosecute and imprison law-abiding citizens exercising their first amendment
rights to peacefully assemble and protest. |
Hmmm is this really true??? I wonder since I actually took time to read the bill and found that it including the
following wording:
`(e) Rules of Construction- Nothing in this section shall be construed--
`(1) to prohibit any expressive conduct (including peaceful picketing or other peaceful demonstration) protected from legal prohibition by the First Amendment to the Constitution;
`(2) to create new remedies for interference with activities protected by the free speech or free exercise clauses of the First Amendment to the Constitution, regardless of the point of view expressed, or to limit any existing legal remedies for such interference;
It would seem this is a now what is the word you use when you don't admit all the facts or tell the entire truth, oh that's right A LIE!!!!!!

Now I study history, someone please tell me when Dr King did one of the following as covered by the law:
Offense- Whoever travels in interstate or foreign commerce, or uses or causes to be used the mail or any facility of interstate or foreign commerce--
`(1) for the purpose of damaging or interfering with the operations of an animal enterprise; and
`(2) in connection with such purpose--
`(A) intentionally damages or causes the loss of any real or personal property (including animals or records) used by an animal enterprise, or any real or personal property of a person or entity having a connection to, relationship with, or transactions with an animal enterprise;
`(B) intentionally places a person in reasonable fear of the death of, or serious bodily injury to that person, a member of the immediate family (as defined in section 115) of that person, or a spouse or intimate partner of that person by a course of conduct involving threats, acts of vandalism, property damage, criminal trespass, harassment, or intimidation; or
`(C) conspires or attempts to do so;
Again another mistatement of facts. You know what folks it is my opinion that Tracy SIlverman either is a liar or has problem comprehending the written word. Since Tracy Silverman is a Legislative Counsel I doubt it is the latter so it must be that TRACY SILVERMAN IS A LIAR!!!!!!!!
The lies pile one on top of the other. Do I even need to address the second release!
