House Bill 1072, sponsored by Rep. Shirley Walters (R)Greenwood, passed in the Arkansas State House. Now it's way to the State Senate. This bill prohibits using the Internet to criticize public school students, and personel. If this bill becomes law, it probably be struck down in Federal Court. This bill is definatley a violation of First Amendment Rights. What is amazing is that the bill's author is Republican. Even more amazing that only 7 house members voted against HB 1072. It is a shame that the majority of the Arkansas State Reprsenatives has no basic understand of the Constitution.
Here is a list of those who voted against HB 1072, and who undertsand the basic rights given to us by our forefathers. I thank each of them.
Aaron Burkes (R) Lowell
Ed Garner (R) Maumelle
Dan Greenberg (R) Little Rock
Steve Harrelson (D) Texarkana
Micheal Lamourex (R) Russellville
Lindsey Smith (D) Fayetteville
Jon Woods (R) Sprindale
When it is voted on in the State Senate, I will post any who may vote against it.
