WHY AETA IS NOT GOOD FOR US •
AETA
risks
having a chilling effect on First Amendment protected speech for everyone
including law abiding citizens, who risk being tarnished a terrorist
even if wrongfully charged. On the chance that a law-abiding citizen
wins his/her case, the damage to their reputation will already be
done. Appeals often take years. •
AETA
risks punishing content based speech. SUMMARY We believe that the true purpose of AETA , is to severely chill AR activism by intimidating those who would legally protest, and as such attempts to prevent the loss of profit to corporations and businesses -special interest groups (who see the ever swelling tsunami of Animal Rights and Animal Welfare consciousness) heading right their way. We
further believe that there are sufficient laws already on the books
to accomodate any and all illegal activist activities. As an example,
Surely, we do not advocate threat, vandalism, and bodily injury, but
why should any sector of society receive special treatment and consideration
under the law from threat, vandalism and bodily harm moreso than any
other sector? The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act is in all likelihood not constitutional and needs to be repealed. Don't sell out your rights to corporate America! Let your voice be heard! Send
