“I also rise to speak in favor of H.R. 140, the Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act. It is unfortunate that this bill is necessary today. We all know why it is necessary. In the past, the government weighed in on Twitter and Facebook to lean on them to remove certain posts regarding news stories regarding eventually President Biden's son and his interactions with Ukraine, as well as perhaps interactions with regard to China. The reason the government weighed in this time is because they wanted to make sure that President Biden won the election. This is a dangerous thing. There is a certain type of government in which the government weighs in on private businesses. The private businesses are able to stay wealthy. The owners of these businesses are allowed to remain billionaires, provided they play ball with orders from the government. In other words, you give up your freedom; you maintain your wealth. I am afraid that is the type of country we are heading toward. The scariest thing about this speech is when we looked at the Pew Research Center and found that 65 percent of Democrats apparently support some form of censorship by the government, which is really a scary thing as to where we head. Soon the day may come in which a majority of Americans--I don't know the breakdown of that 65 percent, how many were young Americans and old Americans. Apparently, our young Americans are being educated that this is okay, that the government knows best.…”
