It looks like you've gotten your definitions mixed up. Terrorism is taking hostages, blowing up buildings, and shooting people in the street. Freedom of speech (inlucing boycotts) and Freedom of assembly (including organizing peaceful protests) are guaranteed us by the Bill of Rights.

Technically, I'll agree with you. However, posting a private person's (note I'm not talking about a business) political donating history for the express purpose to harm them financially, to me, is a form of terrorism. Imagine losing your job just because you made a donation.

A Truro Fireman was publicly fired at a town meeting for signing the petition to put the marriage question on the ballot. He signed it at church. I’m surprised he wasn’t compelled to name any other public employees who also attend his church and didn’t sign the petition, but should be brought in for questioning anyway.

Imagine losing your job because you're gay. Or because you're a Christian. No one ever said it was *easy* to do the right thing. No one ever said it was *safe*. In this life, you either stand up for who you are and what you believe or. . . you don't.
