It is true, but all is not lost. Not all of our free speech has been taken but any of it is too much.
How long before all Free Speech is taken away? How long before joking is completely taken away. No wonder the people in Communist Russia did not laugh. If they did, they they were probably deemed to be up to no good.
Socialism leads to Communism. World history has proved it more than once, yet our elected leaders are ignoring the past mistakes of other nations and running us down the same road. Talk about completely ignoring the definition of insanity.
Be sure to check out how your senator voted on this bill. Even if they supported the amendment that made it not quite so bad, tell them it was not good enough to get them re-elected and tell them that more people will stand up to run against them in office.
We the People need to unite as one voice, pull our resources and get REAL LEADERS into office, not those bought and paid for by corporate sponsors.
GOD'S WORD TODAY
Romans 10:9 KJV
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
