Bumping for my daytime followers because it’s that important:

PEOPLE:  SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Okay, I apologize in advance for a serious post but this one is important and it’s not getting a thousandth as much publicity as it needs.  There’s a new bill in the House right now that would reinstate the government’s ability to impose Droit du Seigneur or “Jus Primae Noctis” on U.S. citizens.

House Republicans introduced the measure yesterday (May 4th) as a rider on a law aimed at limiting protest movements which is expected to pass unchallenged.  I cannot overstate how drastically this law would violate citizens rights.  Not only does it explicitly violate the Third Amendment but it makes a potential ban on Gay Marriage look like a mosquito bite compared to a missing limb. 

I can’t even express how sickened I am at this disgusting, barbaric bill.  These are laws that haven’t been enacted since medieval times, if even then.  We would literally be going back to the dark ages.  The law includes no oversight and could be used (And historically, was only used) to justify rape, sexual harassment, abuse, the list goes on.  Government officials who commit those crimes would be declared not only untouchable by law but within their rights! Please educate yourself about Droit du Seigneur laws immediately.  Then write your representatives and tell them that this shit won’t happen in America.

We will not let it happen.  The government has overstepped its bounds by definition.  It has no legal justification.  This is an illegal bill.  Demand it be thrown out!  Demand that those who wrote it be subjected to committee review.  Please reblog this and email it to every dang person you know.  Get the word out because there’s not a couple in America of any persuasion that won’t be outraged when they hear it.  They want to pass it unseen.  MAKE IT SEEN!

This is America.  Our leaders are not above our laws!  Remind them of that now before it’s too late!!!

Thank you,
