House set to pass bill which makes aid illegal

[muscadine]

joxn has it exactly right about this bill.

Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

You don't have to take that literally to see that making basic aid for anyone illegal is an unthinkable thing to do. Yet, as a country, we're not that far from it. God save us.

EDIT: Well, at least they saved Christmas. :P

EDIT2: Find out how your Representative voted. Let them know how you feel.

Oh, it gets better. They're already prosecuting people with the present laws: http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/1218vigil18.html

This has been all over the news locally for the last few months. So if harsher laws manage to pass in a Senate/House compromise it is ridiculous for lawmakers to argue they won't be used in this fashion.
