Enemy Expatriation Act (Introduced in House - IH)

Rodimus Prime

Terrorist. What makes someone a terrorist? Is it blowing something up? Could it be speaking out against erroneous laws that continue to flood the Senate, the House, and the Administration? Just as we have fought SOPA and PIPA, we must make a real concerted effort to derail any piece of legislation that written to destroy the freedom we have been led to believe we have. In his day, George Washington, fought against his own country and fought to liberate a new nation from tyranny. Now, if he was witness to the laws that seem to pour from congress, would he stand idly by, or would he commit an arbitrary act of terror? I am afraid that these men no longer look to imprison people with bombing plans or bazookas, but people such as hackers and activists, who dare to say "ENOUGH!"
