‘...ideologically based violence’ means the use, planned use, or threatened use of force or violence by a group or individual to promote the group or individual’s political, religious, or social beliefs...The "planned use of force to promote a political or social belief" would be considered an act of terrorism. "Force" could mean:
• A grassroots campaign to barrage Congress with faxes or mail
• A sit-in protest that blocks access to a business or organization
• A grassroots e-mail campaign that overloads the e-mail servers of any government department or agency
Senate Bill 1959 to Criminalize Thoughts, Blogs, Books and Free Speech Across America
Could "force" mean a bold and audacious art show that demanded that America's occupation o Iraq end now? Maybe not, but what if we barrelled the art show down to Crawford on the back of a flatbed truck and yelled and screamed at the top of our lungs?
