Questions about the House "Thought Crime" bill. . .

Advertisements [?]

HR 1955, the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. Was passed, with 404 votes on Oct. 23rd.

It was presented by Jane Harman (D)Ca-36 and co-sponsored by 10 Democrats and 4 Republicans

The language is VERY problematic
see this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x317084

My questions are
1) What am I missing here? Why would someone usually as good as Jane Harman put something like this forward?

2) Is there a companion piece in the Senate?

3) Who should I write +/or call?
