If you haven't heard about this bill yet (H.R. 1955, titled the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007"), it's about time. For a general explanation, see those videos:

This bill is directed at YOU. It wants YOU to SHUT UP and let the government and the established parties do whatever they want to do.
Homegrown terrorism in the USA??? WHERE??? Where are those nasty Al-Quaida cells? Where are they hiding?
What is going on here? A handful of terrorists, mainly from Saudi-Arabia, have committed a terrorist act, and now the whole US-population are potential terrorist suspects? How surreal is that? The parallels to the famous "Reichstagsbrand" in Berlin 1933 are obvious - a handful of "communists" apparently set the German Parliament on fire, on that gave Hitler the justification to pass the laws to gain control power.
And one aspect of this bill should be highlighted: It is especially directed against internet freedom. See what the brilliant US-lawmakers in this bill have to say about the Internet:
"The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization,
ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the
United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of
terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens."
GREAT - can only take a while until the great firewall of China is coming to the USA. But maybe it's more likely that a climate of self-censorship is being established, because this bill is so incredibly vague (typical method of dictatorships), so that anybody who publishes a critical video or a critical blog could be labelled a terrorist.
And the scariest thing is that this is a Democrat-sponsored bill - in the House only 6 members voted against this bill. Among the dissenters was Dennis Kucinich!!
