                            HON. BARBARA LEE

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 5, 2008

  Ms. LEE. Madam Speaker, on October 23, 2007 the House passed H.R. 
1955, the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act 
of 2007. My vote in support of this bill was an error. I am concerned 
that this legislation creates the appearance that our constitutional 
rights could be undermined or that peaceful dissent and protest could 
be discouraged. I would like the Record to reflect that I stand in 
opposition to this legislation.
