The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act

From Huffington Post’s article on The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, which passed in the House last month and is waiting for Senate approval: “…the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act could easily be abused to define any group that is pressuring the political system as “terrorist,” ranging from polygamists, to second amendment rights supporters, anti-abortion protesters, anti-tax agitators, immigration activists, and peace demonstrators. In reality, of course, it will be primarily directed against Muslims and Muslim organizations.” [I wonder how it treats Vermont secessionists?]
