The American Congress for Truth e-letter for today included a link to sign the petition to advance the Libel Terrorism Act; A-9652 / S-6687. They have already managed to amass upwards of 5,000 signatures as of the writting of this article. They wish to attain a number of signatures in the area of 10,000 by next week when it is presented.
For those who have yet tobe made aware, the Libel Terrorism protection act is being created to halt the impending onslaught of libel law suits being filed in overseas courts, namely in England. And to provide a measure of protection of Free Speech rights to authors, journalists and the like who speak out about such topics as terrorism, islamofascism, etc.
Many authors and publishers have already come under the fire of Libel Terrorism, causing retractions to be made, books pulled from shelves and reparations to be paid. The most recent and notable victim of these attacks is a Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld for her book Funding Evil; How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop It.
HERE is the link for the petition. Here is the text link for those who require it:
The page also gives an in depth description of the of what the petition is about. For now, the act is being generated for New York State as it receives the brunt of the overseas suits and is the publishing center for most of America. But the Bill will most probably be extended in other states to umbrella that protection.
If Americans truly value their “freedoms,” as we so often hear, then at a minimum, a serious consideration of this petition is in order. Otherwise, your freedom to even “blog” your topic may become subject to hostile court fire.
