Governor Jay Nixon is abusing state law enforcement and other taxpayer-funded resources to target pro-life Missourians and others he believes to be political enemies in violation of their civil rights according to a complaint filed today with the Americans Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Missourians United for Life filed the complaint and is asking the ACLU to apply instantly for a temporary restraining order against Jay Nixon in U.S. District Court.
The complaint was filed in response to a controversial Nixon Administration report issued by the governor’s Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC). The Nixon report targets pro-lifers as potential threats to public safety and specifically warns law enforcement that displaying “anti-abortion” material may be a sign of a potential threat. When asked by a reporter about the controversial report, Nixon defended it stating that getting such information was something “we’re going to continue to do.”
“What Governor Nixon is telling Missourians is if you disagree with him on the issue of life or display a pro-life bumper sticker or wear a pro-life pin, you may subjected to action by state law enforcement or your personal information might be sent to a law enforcement analysis center,” said Ed Martin, President of Missourians United for Life. “This is a clear violation of Missourians civil rights. The only intent of such a report by Nixon’s Administration is to harass and intimidate the governor’s perceived political enemies and chill speech and open debate by those who disagree with Jay Nixon on public policy.”
Jay Nixon’s Administration released the attached report on February 20, 2009. In addition to pro-life Missourians, the Nixon report targets Christians, conservatives and others.
Missourians United for Life has filed a complaint against Nixon with the American Civil Liberties Union and is seeking a temporary restraining order against him.
“We are asking the ACLU to take action to protect the civil rights of pro-life Missourians,” Martin said. “No Missourian should have to worry that they may be pulled over by the Missouri State Highway Patrol if they place a pro-life sticker on their bumper or attend a pro-life event. Missourians United for Life have a right to disagree with Nixon’s pro-abortion views and we will not be intimidated by his bullying.”

This is the infancy steps into facism, where free speech is a crime. The goons are told to spot such “terrorists” and intimidate them. If we don’t fight it now, it’s only going to grow bigger. This governor had best be seeking a new career as he isn’t too likely to get reelected since he’s alienating a good portion of his consituents by his lawless decrees.
Haven’t heard of anyone being harassed by the state’s thugs yet, but give it time.

“Haven’t heard of anyone being harassed by the state’s thugs yet, but give it time.”
And you won’t…simply because that type of news won’t make it to the mainstream.

To better understand the confusion & corruption humanity is going through, it will be beneficial to read the Quran. Read it for yourself and make up your own mind.
Dont be manipulated.
AllahsQuran.com (read & listen to the Quran)
WhatsIslam.com (basics of Islam in audio introduction)
ShareIslam.com (learn about Islam)
ProphetOfIslam.com (who was MUHAMMED? peace be upon him)
BibleIslam.com (who was JESUS? peace be upon him)
IslamsWomen.com (70% of new muslims in the west are women, why?)
God also reveals many scientific facts in the Quran to prove over and over to its authenticity. Some of the revelations are:
-Big-Bang
-Creation & Evolution of Life from Water
-Expanding Universe
-Atomic Structure
-Geological Formations
-Black Holes
-Astronomical Systems
-Black Matter
QuranMiracles.com (learn about the scientific revelations in Quran)

Remember; the oldest original written Quran, dated about 1400 years old, is at Istanbul Museum, Turkey, with many copies of it in the world including one in the British Museum. There are also upto 30 million people in the world who have memorized it whole, cover to cover, word by word by, letter by letter by heart. So it is easy to cross-check anything about Islam.

Peace, mercy & blessings of God be upon you all.

Why is it that the same people who want to force desperate people into having children are the same ones trying to get rid of any social program that might help them?

WTF are you talking about? Did you read the article? I didn’t know it was possible to “force desperate people into having children”. Does someone put a gun to someone elses head and force a breeding?

Nixon’s view is if you do not think the way he thinks you automatically wrong. This is the same type of leadership the american people had under Bush if you don’t fell in line with his moron policies you are a terrorist. This is the type of government that you saw in old Germany and Russia that were lead by dictators and tyrants.

Our apologies, One bit of information in this video is incorrect. The ACLU filed a Formal Complaint. To our knowledge, they are NOT suing the Governor. This error was based on incorrect reports, sorry.

“Nixon Administration”
::shudder::
I thought we’d never see such a shocking statement ever again.
March 24th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Raise your hand if you think this is happening only in Missouri.
In this case an insider with a conscience sent the document to Alex. How often does this kind of crap occur without it coming to light.
Raise your hand if you don’t think you live in a modern police state.
It’s time for regime change. I’m not talking about this charade where we let Republicans and Democrats take turns in destroying our culture, I’m talking about changing the power structure altogether. The slimy politicians merely work for the central bankers.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

Doesn’t surprise me about Missouri. You’d be amazed at how tyrannical the state really is. I have a story that is totally outrageous just over an alleged traffic violation. Too long to publish here. Definitely a case of malicious prosecution only because I was from out of state and challenged them. Even my lawyer was amazed.
