Boo! Hiss! To Senator Christopher Dodd right here in Connecticut for voting against the “John Doe” amendment that would have protected concerned citizens who reported suspicious activity related to terrorism. It is a shame that he and other members of congress put the interests of CAIR (Council on Anti-american Islamic Relations) over the interests of his fellow Americans. Even though American Muslims have abandoned CAIR, for some strange reason the folks in DC always seem to roll out the red carpet for them. Could it be the truckloads of Saudi money behind them?
What does this mean in a practical sense? Remember those patriotic citizens who reported their discomfort about the 6 Flying Imams? It means that CAIR’s suit against those private citizens can now proceed. I’m hoping that there may be a handful of patriotic lawyers left in the country to assist these good samaritans. Obviously the Flying Imams incident was a set-up intended to inure us as to what constitutes suspicious behavior to make us let down our guard. Would those same citizens have reported to the authorities if they knew they could be sued? Probably yes. But now they would do it in the knowledge that their lives might become living hells courtesy of Saudi-funded CAIR lawyers. Remember, CAIR does not have to have a valid case in order to harass you. All they have to do is keep the proceedings going long enough so as to make you cry “uncle” as your wallet is drained dry by legal fees.
Everyone, especially those who live in Connecticut, should contact Senator Dodd’s office and tell him that he should be ashamed of himself for letting down his constituency and his country.
