Featured Members of Congress
On May 08, 2008 Mark Kirk was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Mark Kirk (R-IL) has ramped up his push for legislation banning access to social-networking sites in schools and libraries with a press conference outlining the "dangers" and sexually-explicit content available to anyone on Second Life. "Sites like Second Life offer no protections to keep kids from virtual "rape rooms," brothels, and drug stores," Kirk said. "If sites like Second Life won't protect kids from obviously inappropriate content, the Congress will."

Satellites used in Home surveillance
No citizen is entirely without danger of being harmed by the U S Governments’
Space Satellite programs using high frequency energy, lasers. Similar to the
surveillance used during the Viet Nam War, these units are able to penetrate just about
anything, characterizing human bodies as they walk though their homes. There are
very few places within a home that cannot be spied upon, depending on where the
systems are directed–bathroom, kitchens, bedrooms, throughout the home, spying and
doing their dastardly thing.
Mobil ground units operating in an equivalent way are able to penetrate walls of
buildings doing surveillance and harming Citizens. Much like satellites, ground units
assault using multifrequency energies, lasers, directed by ground coordinators, causing
damage to joint and nerve tissue of any part of a heat generating body. Seldom, if ever,
individuals who are harmed realize what’s happening to them. Doctors will treat the
inflection as a common ailment. The suffering may go on for years without the
government ever stopping it, in some cases causing death.
Fortunately, the incoming satellite and ground energies can be detected and
identified, by using an effective barrier partitions. It's a trail and error in most cases, a
matter of using barriers, checking to see if the pain continues. The End
H.R. 3291 The Student and Teacher Safety Act of 2007
>Requires< local educational agencies to have in effect policies that deem to be reasonable and permissible a search of any minor student on public school grounds if conducted by a full-time teacher or school official.
This is a law MANDATING that schools have a program in place to search students.
Up to and INCLUDING STRIP SEARCHES!!!!
To be done by teachers!
This is the same as the The Student and Teacher Safety Act of 2006, it is BULLSHIT!!
Giving the schools the power to strip search kids!!!
We don't have enough teacher abuse in schools, now they want to make it legal???
Anyone doing this to any of my family will pay dearly.
Any politician voting for this will not only NOT get my vote, but I will spread the word far & wide as to what they are up to.
I will be screaming bloody murder if this passes and I won't stop till its revoked.
