America Needs Greater Public Information About Domestic Extremist Groups

"I applaud Rep. Jane Harmen (D-CA) for introducing S. 1959: Violent Radicalisation and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, a bill that would secure funding for a public interest research center to track and make public information about violent, dogmatic organizations that originated in the United States. After the bill passed the House of Representatives with an overwhelming vote of support (405-6) the needs to pass the Senate and have President Bush sign the bill into law."

"Had more information about extremist organizations like the Nation of Yahweh been available to the public, Rochester Friends Helping Friends’ services to the community would not have been disrupted and damaged."

This is sick. Your poor judgment was the problem, not the lack of a bill that criminalizes dissenting opinion.
