- "Homegrown Terrorism" Bill ~ News and Opinion Round-Up - Six Hours A Week: Adventures of a Sudden Patriot
- All the latest news as well as highlights of oppositional outcry from Sacramento to Atlanta. There should be enough here to convince even the most skeptical on your list that S1959 is a waste of resources. It won’t make us safer. As one writer points out, it sets up conditions that would have enabled Martin Luther King, Jr to be labeled a terrorist
It is surprising how quickly people in government forget the injustices of the Blacklist era and the House Committee on Un-American Activities. It hasn’t even been a century since the Smith Act attempted to regulate our thoughts about Communism.

1940 The Smith Act: It became illegal to knowingly or willfully promote the overthrow of our government by force or violence.
Therefore, the act of thinking of overthrowing the government became illegal.

1947 House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC or HCUA): Congressional hearings begin based on the Smith Act calling to Washington members of the motion picture industry.
Those called had few options.
1 Become an informer and name names? of other communists.
2 Plead the 1st Amendment and be held in contempt of congress warranting (as the Hollywood 10? did) a trip to prison for a few years.
3 Plead the 5th Amendment and be blacklisted by Hollywood.

1950 Internal Security Act: Members of these groups (Communists) could not become citizens. Citizen-members could be denaturalized in five years.
One with communist THOUGHTS could be stripped of his/her citizenship.

Many other atrocities upon the constitution were committed in this time, which I will name quickly without reference since this is such a long comment:
The Subversive Activities Control Board forced communist organizations to register on a list
Control of the mail and radio to communists
Legalized detainment of communists without bail
Deportations of communists and suspected communists
George Bush has a connection to this era distant though it may be. George W. Bushs Father, George H. W. Bush was Ronald Reagans Vice President and Reagan was one of the friendliest witnesses the at HCUA interviewed. Reagan of course being a Hollywood Actor at the time and president of the Screen Actors Guild.
