StumbleKKSS discovered 4 months ago- the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act of 2007, otherwise known as S.B. 1959, is the companion bill to a previous House version (H.B. 1955), sponsored by Rep. Jane Harman (D-Ca.). S.B. 1959 is now under consideration in the Senate Homeland Security Committee, chaired by Senator Joe Lieberman. This bill is of importance as it deals with the further erosion of our civil liberties during a Presidential election cycle. Ironically, a presidential contender is on the committee; namely Senator Barack Obama. Senator Clinton is not on the committee, though her office has been contacted regarding this potential law, as was Senator McCain. S. B. 1959 would permit the allocation of precious resources for the express purpose of investigating cases of suspected 'violent radicals' or 'homegrown terrorists.'

- From the page: "As we come closer to the presidential election----there is an eerie silence once again, from the candidates themselves. Rather than condemn ANOTHER civil rights intrusion, in the name of 'alleged' security needs--the candidates are sponsoring political shouting matches, each crying that their opponent, doesn't 'play well with others.' When did the needs of a democratic republic morph into a televised popularity contest? As I listen to each candidate pontificate on their opposition's 'accountability deficit'; I consider the words of another political figure, who had a few thoughts regarding civil liberties and their vital role in a healthy democratic republic. "It takes a lot of degeneration before a country falls into dictatorship. But we should avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings." (Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day-O'Connor). If only our presidential candidates could learn that lesson."
