Minnesota Family Council calls on Minnesotans to stop senate bill limiting free speech.

Senate legislation could prevent everyday Americans from being informed and heard by their lawmakers.

The U.S. Senate will vote next week on legislation aimed at curbing lobbying corruption.  Hidden in Section 220 of the bill is language designed to severely hamper organizations like the Minnesota Family Council from informing Minnesotans about significant legislation affecting the family and urging them to take action. 

Apparently the objective is to hide what goes on from the public and punish and silence those who would inform average citizens.  For instance, this email would be considered grass roots communication and subject to the new laws.  Organizations in violation of the new law could be fined $100,000 per violation.

Take Action

Call the offices of Senator Norm Coleman and Senator Amy Klobuchar in Washington D.C., and tell them to support the Bennett Amendment that will strip Section 220 from Senate Bill 1.

Tell them to focus on lobbying corruption - not grassroots communication.

Tell them you are for reining in the high-powered lobbyists and corruption in Washington, but not grassroots communications between citizens and lawmakers.
