HR 347-2, read and think

Here is HR 347-2 that is being suggested around that web that Obama is making free speech a felony.  Read the bill and make your own conclusion.

To me, it doesn't seem that much different then what is currently in place.

With three representatives voting no, the House passed the bill.  The Senate passed the law without a single no vote.
