Thought Crime Bill

Ronni at Time Goes By nails this issue with a definitive post

Please go read it.

This snip is good, the whole thing is great...


When I attended the first Blogher conference in the summer of 2005, Jay Rosen, who runs the excellent media blog, PressThink, spoke to the 300 of us gathered for the final session. I don’t remember what else he said - only these six words:

“Blogs are little First Amendment machines.”

As soon as I got home, I posted a little badge linking to the Electronic Frontier Foundation with Jay’s quote. It’s been sitting at the bottom of the left sidebar, but I’ve promoted it today to the top and linked it to the Thought Crime Index page listing all posts on this topic. It will remain there until this bill is defeated. If you copy and save the image, you can post it on your blog too.

Thank you for posting this. It is so important to stop this bill in its tracks. If we don't, all our liberties will be lost.

After three weeks of my harping on this, finally some inroads are being made in mainstream media where more people will see it.

Daily Kos has done a piece now, as has Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, Democracy Now.

Call you senators. Let them know we will not stand for this.
