Charlotte, NC (TLS). Having failed in the attempt to stop bloggers from encouraging citizens to contact their Congressional representatives concerning pending legislation, the Democrats are trying again to attack free speech using a different tactic.
Commies never stop attacking free speech.
This time, Henry Waxman, D-CA, has introduced legislation that would require the Executive Branch of government to keep records of each and every contact that it has with private citizens, including the subject nature of that communication.
The bill, H.R. 984, named, 'The Executive Branch Reform Act,' would require the Executive Branch to keep tabs on you each time you contact them to express your opinion concerning the actions of government or pending legislation. Waxman claims that this would part of an overall effort to make government 'more open and honest.'
Sure, Waxman.
Don't you mean that your plan is to silence the citizens by making public the private communication with the Executive Branch?
Pelosi's House is at it again, the Commie-Nazis. Sieg Heil!
In addition, if the Executive Branch, i.e., the President, the White House, and all of its tributaries, are required to keep tedious records on every single communication they have with citizens, it will mean that the Executive Branch is likely to consider such communication more of a nuisance than anything else, thus making it less likely that the White House would listen to the views of the people.
There is a much darker motivation behind this bill, however. Sources inside Congress state that this legislation is actually aimed at keeping tabs on the supposed 'sinister communication' between the Executive Branch and the citizens. It doesn't take a rocket scientists to figure out that if the Legislative Branch considers some communication between the Executive Branch and the citizens to be 'sinister,' then this means that the Legislative Branch is afraid of the will and opinions of the people. 'Sinister communication,' then, is defined as any communication between private citizens and the White House that the Congress considers undesirable, i.e., citizens expressing their displeasure with the Legislative Branch.
In short, this is just one more example of Democrats trying to subvert the will of the people and insulate themselves against any outrage of the populace directed toward them.
My my, the Demo-Commies must really be getting scared of the citizenry.
In just two short months, Democrats have attempted to thwart free speech by introducing two different pieces of legislation, the first of which failed after the outcry of citizens was heard.
H.R. 984 is perhaps even more subversive than the first bill. This piece of trash needs to be discarded to the ash-heap of dead legislation even before it hits the House floor.
It is time once again to contact your Congressional Representatives in the House to express your desire to see H.R. 984 defeated.

Oh yes, of course, the democrats are repressing free speech and not the republicans. Give me a break - just try saying the word bomb these days in public (e.g. golly gosh darn Beaver, that stuff was "the bomb" - in swoops the storm troopers). Thanks to republican legislature that gets you put in jail. In fact, mention at a political event that the president sucks - well, that wll get you arrested too. Hmm, does this sound at all like what you're describing?
"In addition, if the Executive Branch, i.e., the President, the White House, and all of its tributaries, are required to keep tedious records on every single communication they have with citizens..."
You mean like wiretapping calls without public knowledge - oh wait, that sounds a little more "commie" to me than this proposed plan.
Mmmm, I think you missed something of vital importance. There is a major difference between what you are describing and what I warned about with Democrats.
The speech to which you refer is specifically and exclusively violent in nature, and plays into the hands of our counterterrorism activities. The speech Democrats wish to silence is ANY and ALL direct communication between the public and the Executive Branch, no matter WHAT the subject matter.
One is aimed at stopping terrorists. The other is aimed at nothing but silencing and squelching the influence of private citizens with their government.
H.R. 984, along with the former Bill Democrats issued to target bloggers and organizations, has absolutely no purpose but to stop the free exchange of ideas with government and to stop the influence of private citizens.
This means only one thing--your comrads in the Democrat Party are enemies of First Amendment rights for no other redeeming purpose than to insulate themselves from accountability.

I can't help but wonder whether the Democrats' desire for "lists" of people are not for more sinister reasons. As we have seen in other 20th century examples of implenting communism, lists can be quite handy when people won't do what you tell them to do.
Brent,
Your remarks reminded me of something concerning the Nazis. They kept meticulous reocrds on everything and everybody.
Each time government decides it wants databases and lists of ordinary citizens that can be categorized, you can rest assured something sinister is afoot. History teaches us this lesson.
