Stop it: This Senator wants the government to spy on your phone, Facebook, websitesMay 2, 2014Tom,Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) has introduced legislation for the federal government to monitor and analyze speech on the Internet, television, and radio looking for anything it considers "hate speech." The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014< /a> (S.2219) would capture Internet and other telecommunications that the government interprets as encouraging hate crimes based on gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. This is a bad bill, even to the liberal Boston Herald editorial staff. It mandates that the government monitor and analyze speech and press statements that are protected by the First Amendment. The wording is deliberately fuzzy, so that although it sounds like it only addresses constitutionally unprotected speech, it reaches much further. The danger of this bill Although the bill innocuously purports to analyze electronic speech that might "advocate or encourage violent acts or hate crimes," it gives the government far reaching power to monitor constitutionally protected speech…even yours. We believe S.2219 is a cloaking device for silencing Christians and advancing the homosexual agenda that Sen. Markey wholeheartedly supports. For example:
Email your two Senators now, urging them to reject and vote against S.2219.
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.

Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)
