Free Speech in Jeopardy

There are 2 bills currently in committee that threaten the free speech of all people, especially Christians, HR H.R.256 and H.R.262. Janet Porter in the article below gives more information about these bills:

From Janet’s article:

“Rep. (and former judge) Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, pointed out in the House Judiciary Committee the bill "is going to put pastors in prison." Title 18 of the U.S. Criminal Code, Section 2 (a) reads:

(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal. – 18 USC Sec. 2

That means if you "counsel someone," or write a book, or read from the Bible (such as what Obama says is an "obscure" passage in the first chapter of Romans), you could be found guilty of "inducing" someone to commit a crime. “

From a manual used to identify those who might possibly commit hate crimes: “These suspect groups also "include apocalyptic Christianity in their ideology and believe we are in, or approaching, a period of violence and social turmoil which will precede the Second Coming of Christ" (p.22). If you are a Christian who believes what the Bible has to say about homosexual behavior, you're a suspect. If you've noticed that reading the paper is strikingly similar to reading the book of Revelation, you are also on a police "most wanted list" of potential criminals.”

Please consider taking action by calling your congressman and senators while it’s still legal to speak freely.
