Defeat This Bill!!

Leftinistra trying to block access to CONgress? Why would they want to do that? Don’t they like Freedom of Speech or what? Isn’t Freedom of Speech one of those pesky Bill of Rights things?

About This Legislation:

To amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 to provide for additional reporting by lobbying firms. This amendment, sponsored by Rep. Martin Meehan (D-Mass.), would establish, for the first time, federal regulatory authority over efforts aimed at motivating citizens to communicate with their representatives about bills moving in Congress.

One would think that since the Leftinistra have claimed that they aren’t trying to rewrite our Constitution, this travesty in the making would run contrary to their mantra…yes?

I received this in my email. We need to march on this one. Letters, faxes, emails and phone calls. This right here is proof positive that we in The New Media ARE having a horrific affect and effect on the plans of the Leftinistra!!

Dear [Snooper],

I wrote to you in January about legislation in the U.S. Senate that could have silenced grassroots communication from groups like American Family Association. Thankfully, that part of the legislation was defeated after you and other concerned citizens let your voices be heard.

Unfortunately, the House Judiciary Committee is expected to reconsider the “grassroots gag order” when the Meehan Amendment (H.R. 2093) will be offered on Tuesday, May 15, during debate on a broader “lobbying reform” bill. This amendment, sponsored by Rep. Martin Meehan (D-Mass.), would establish, for the first time, federal regulatory authority over efforts aimed at motivating citizens to communicate with their representatives about bills moving in Congress.

This threat is so serious that American Family Association has joined with other pro-family groups, as well as organizations from the left of the political spectrum, including the ACLU, to oppose the bill. Last week, we signed a joint letter calling on members of Congress to reject this dangerous effort to exclude men and women like you from the democratic process. To read the letter, click here.

The full House of Representatives is expected to act on the “lobbying reform” legislation on May 22. Depending on what happens in the Judiciary Committee on May 15, the full House may also vote on whether to include the Meehan provision in the broader bill.
