Christians in the Crosshairs

There is currently an effort that endangers the ability of Christians (and other Bible-readers) from quoting scripture. It is part of an on-going effort to infringe on the freedom of religion in America and is part of a larger effort to end our Constitutional rule of Law.
The Cyber Bullying Act (aka HR1966) was introduced by Representative Linda T. Sanchez. It is nick-named the Megan Meier Act after the young girl who killed herself. Rep. Sanchez's public affairs officer claims that Megan was a happy, normal little girl, who had no problems or thought of suicide until the mom of a schholmate of Megan's, pretended to be a boy on a web-based social network and 'taunted her into committing suicide'.
As a nurse with 20+ years in the field of Psychiatry, I can attest that this claim is utterly ridiculous! Furthermore, poor little Megan had a history of mental illness and was on psychiatric medications. Some medicines, like Prozac can cause psychotic symptoms, including suicidal urges if stopped abruptly.
The Cyber Bullying act will make it a crime to hurt someone's feeling by use of the internet, however, for Christians, the real threat is the effects this Act will have on quoting Bible verses on the Internet.
If you quote the Ten Commandments on the web and some guilty sinner (anyone) has their feelings hurt (feels guilty for sinning), you can be fined and or be put in jail!
How do you prove that your quote "hurt someone's feelings"? Worse than that-How can you prove that you DIDN'T?
This Act is the greatest threat to free speech in the history of the United States!
It's time to wake up and take a stand for God and Country before these thought police destroy what's left of America!!
