More Politics – now they are after free speech and grassroots organizations

This piece of legislation reared it’s ugly head in July and was opposed by one vote, now it’s back.  I do wish that they’d take NO for an answer instead of bombarding us with legislation over and over again until our Senators cave just to get rid of it and quit hearing about it.

This time they are going directly after the small, grassroots organizations that are opposing their tyranny.  Of course they would do this, who is not surprised?  They never expected so many people to stand up and defend their rights to free speech, freedom of food choices, freedom of health choices and more.  Now they need to stomp out our organizations and force “disclosure” of our membership so they can harass us individually to make it as uncomfortable as possible to voice opposition.

This legislation, S. 3628, was barely defeated in the Senate last July but a similar bill passed in the House.  We need to oppose this NOW!  For those of you in Texas it is very important you give Senator Cornyn and Hutchison a call and ask them to Oppose Disclose.   From our friends at Campaign for Liberty here are their numbers and exactly what you need to say:

Please contact Senator John Cornyn at (202) 224-2934 and Senator Kay Hutchison at (202) 224-5922 right away and demand they OPPOSE DISCLOSE on every vote – including cloture.”

Everyone who cares about liberty and the right to organize our own political movements without harassment needs to stand up in opposition of this bill.  Even if you don’t agree with the Campaign for Liberty this bill will quash the freedom we’ve enjoyed to oppose government overreach.  I can even see them using this to go after members of Vaccine and nutrition awareness groups, as well as groups like our beloved farmers’ protection groups by forcing membership lists to be “disclosed” as well as donations.

The vote is TODAY so time is running out.  Find your Senator here and email, call, write and tell them to Oppose Disclose!  http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
