Speeches and an award ceremony in Texas honoring Rev. Jeremiah Wright for his years of service to America, the church, and the Black community were cancelled due to threats of violence by virulent Hate-mongers. Wright was first scheduled to recieve the award from the acclaimed Brite Divinity School in Ft. Worth. While Brite issued a heroic staement standing by Wright and reiterating the reasons he deserved the award

they announced the meetings would be moved off campus because of security concerns. A huge Baptist church in Dallas was then scheduled to host the events. However, Wright himself decided to cancel his appearances after the threats kept coming in.

The people who's violent threats forced the cancelation of the events are nothing more than racist terrorists, using the threat of violence to squelch the voices of those who would help the African American Community. All Americans should stand up and speak out on this dark time in our political history.

And on the same day Wright was forced to cancel his talk, Hillary Clinton did weigh in. She chose that day to announce to the world that she would have never stayed in a church where Wright was preaching.

I loved Hillary Clinton. i stood by her, and contributed to her, when she was in swirls of controversy. i assumed i would be voting for her in this primary. but now, on the day that racist terrorists were essentially running Dr. Wright out of Texas under the threat of violemce, Hillary Clinton wieghed in, not to speak out on the violent threats, not to praise Black Liberation Theology as the hopeful and useful tool that it has always been in this country, but to blast Dr. Wright. she has taken the side of the hatemongers and racists in this argument. if she was a ReThug, her actions would be abissmal, but par for the course. but for a Democrat to attack Black Liberation Theology, and attack Dr. Wright while he was facing violent terrorist threats, is unforgivable.
and anyone supporting Clinton after this attack on top of her racist campaign is just as unforgivable. at some point, blind loyalty is a curse, not a blessing. that time is now. it is time to take the blinders off, and see that politicians like Clinton are exactly what the netroots were created to fight. please, join the fight to end racism and fearmongering from all politicians, not just ReThugs.

HR 1955 passed with 404 votes in the House. Sponsored by Jane Harmon aand co sponsored by Chris Carney and a host of others the bill is entitled Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007.

Here is a link to read the bill:  http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext .xpd?bill=h110-1955

I am most troubled by this section of the bill:
(3) 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.

Will this section endanger Net Neutrality
