The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, announced it is launching a national campaign today demanding that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) retract a warning it included in a recent report on domestic terrorism that labels pro-life supporters as ‘extremists.’
At the same time, the ACLJ is notifying all 50 states that the report – and the offensive warning – should not be used to curtail the First Amendment rights of pro-life supporters. Further, the ACLJ is supporting a call for Congressional hearings on the DHS report.
“The report creates a very troubling climate for those who want to exercise their constitutional rights to speak out about protecting the life of the unborn,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. “It’s now clear the DHS ignored its own internal concerns about this outrageous and inflammatory warning.”
” We’re very concerned that this disturbing report not be used by law enforcement agencies around the country to silence the legitimate First Amendment rights of pro-life supporters. The fact is that the DHS must retract this offensive reference. We also support the call for Congressional hearings to get to the bottom of this. The DHS report represents at the very least – bad judgment – and at worst – an Administration-backed effort to intimidate and silence pro-life supporters.”
I go with the latter – whatever Obama’s views on the matter may be, he has stocked his Administration with the kookiest of screwball pro-abortionists who are bent on using fascist measures to shut down the pro-life movement. They hate us and want us to shut up and go away – turning us into proto-terrorists is just one of the ways they hope to accomplish their goal.
Now, where are all you liberal civil libertarians who were shrieking bloody murder over President Bush’s signals intelligence program? To listen to you a year or two ago, the mere prospect of Uncle Sam listening to your phone calls was the slippery slope to fascism…now we’ve got the government actually using fascist methods against dissent. What will you do? Show the courage of your claimed convictions, or mumble excuses and prove to the world you are no supporters of freedom?
