'A colleague has just posted a very important video on a very important topic. There is pending legislation in the US that would criminalize speech on topics the governmentdeems "threatening." The law is called H.R. 1955. It goes by the Orwellian name: "The violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism prevention act." It quietly passed the House by a 404 to 6 vote andat least one Congressman admits voting for it without reading it. Language in this bill makes it theoreticallypossible for government agents to shut downsites like Brasscheck TV by claiming thatthe information we share *may* insight violence. Here's how I need your help... Few Americans even know of the existence of thislegislation let alone know what's in it. The Internet can change that - and your help is needed. Please go to the site, view the video, andif you are a YouTube member (it's easy to join) rate it, favorite it, and post a comment. Frequent viewings and frequent posts help. With enough activity in the next 24 hours, wemay be able to make this one of the most popularnews videos of the day and raise the profile on this very important subject. Thanks.

H.R. 1955 is one of the most dramatic assaultson the right to free speech that I've ever seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wJsovPRTEM - Brasscheck'
