Back in December, I sent a letter to Ohio's U.S. Senators urging them to oppose the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Act on the grounds that it would excessively restrict the Constitutional rights of American dissenters. This letter was reproduced in The Ohio Republic as a post December 4.
Sen. Voinovich sent me a response January 14, which is included with Sen. Brown's as a comment to my original post. I appreciate the length and detail of his response; however, it was not any more reassuring than Sen. Brown's.
The bill has been recast as S. 1959, and remains in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. If you have not written to Sen. Brown or Sen. Voinovich expressing concern about this bill's investigatory provisions, it is not too late.
