its authors republican congressman jim sensenbrenner
has said goes beyond what he thinks was its original intent
we really want to give corporations a sort of power to misuse our criminal
justice system
our founders envisioned a society in which you all were held accountable to
ended by
the law not a society which vadim overly broad statutes
and power
foreign private corporations to persecute american activists

transnational corporations
but to protect are right
to protest
pisses this this seems just as american as apple pie
tell me something as more american as apple pie the protest
we started as a protest in it
in fact we started as a protest in nation
made-up of people who were protesting
religion
protest in ts
think of that word
protest

early days of the republic
very few catholics very few jews mostly
protestants
and eight theorists were deus sts
or quakers
people who were protest in the the the religious order
if they said that we were protesting religion
the protesters came here
i mean grilled religion europe
followers of martin luther fall or is of
and really eight whatever
followers of oliver cromwell
came here
and that sort of protest in england's economic policies
via the british east india company in a start
protest in england's

whatever
that if they had to reimburse them
the
you know they were and see a lot of austin port
and boston said
and so they sealed off the boston portend ballmer revolution was off and
running

incidents in other the boston massacre
lexington concord nh the stuff moving but
you're really started
there in the late fall early winter
of seventeen seventy three
with a protest
an active vandalism against a trans national corporation or not an advocate
of normally supporting vandals
if somebody's gonna commit vandalism
they should be prosecuted as a family
not as a terrorist
and somebody's point is simply protests
then they should be prosecuted for civil disobedience for protesting
not as a terrorist
the measure martin luther king too little
this is the comma hardman program transpose the s poser people of his
