House of Reps declares Jefferson a "Homegrown Terrorist"

HR 1955 titled the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007

Section 3:
(3) HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term
`homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of
force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and
operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the
United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the
civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in
furtherance of political or social objectives.

Thomas Jefferson writes to William Smith in 1787:
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural manure."

There it is. The Congress has lost it's goddamn mind. By advocating violence against US governments that become tyranical...Jefferson has run afoul (granted, 200 years later) of the "Homegrown Terrorism Act"

Our Congress has turned it's back on our founders. Perhaps it's time we turned our backs to them and voted their useless asses out of office.
