Any simple act of dissent could get you (ME) labeled as a “domestic terrorist” by Donald Trump’s government.. Last year, Donald Trump issued executive order NSPM-7 -- or National Security Presidential Memorandum 7. And now he’s asked Congress to fund it. In Trump’s budget request he indicates that the NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center will seek to identify anyone the administration considers domestic terrorists, including people expressing support for views like: • “anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity” • “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government” • “extremism on migration, race, and gender” • “hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality” Those things can mean anything they want to mean. All citizens are at risk of persecution by these people. Dissent is patriotic. No one should be arrested or prosecuted or potentially end up in prison for exercising their constitutionally protected freedoms. I expect anyone representing US citizens to refuse to fund Trump’s NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center, which seeks to silence dissent and weaponize our beliefs against us. In specifically, I demand that you do everything you can do to put a stop to this plan, in addition to refusing to fund it.
