Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act Might Have Some Major Free Speech Problems

I have to say this is concerning as to the of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2011 which seems to make some very huge 1st amendment problems worse.

and

I very much fear like the Louisiana bully law coverage where the only meme that could be found was GAYS VS CHRISTIAN RIGHT that these issues might not be coverage.

Unlike Louisiana this legislation might pass without us having a debate over the issues above.
