You are now an enemy of the state under charge of thought crime if you support the United States Constitution.

The Constitution Party has issued a warning to Americans traveling within the state of Missouri that they might be considered a threat by law enforcement if they display certain bumper stickers on their cars. A recent report issued through the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) titled "The Modern Militia Movement" was released with the approval of Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and the Missouri State Police. It labels Americans with a variety of political beliefs as potential "militia members", "domestic terrorists" and "radicals".
The Constitution Party decries this report as political profiling and strongly suggests those considering a trip to the Show Me state be aware of the possibility they could be pulled over by a Missouri State Police officer simply for displaying a politically oriented sticker on their vehicles.
In the MIAC report, those who support 3rd party candidates like Constitution Party presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin and Libertarian Bob Barr as well as Congressman Ron Paul were labeled "dangerous" and a "threat" to law enforcement.
The Constitution Party’s Chuck Baldwin voiced outrage saying: "This is a classic case of broad-brushed police profiling. Can you imagine the fallout of this preposterous report had the names Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Maxine Waters been used instead of the names Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr?"
According to the MIAC report labeled "law enforcement sensitive" those considered a threat include citizens against:
* Gun control * Illegal immigration * Abortion * The United Nations * The North American Union * The Federal Reserve * The IRS * Unconstitutional Mandatory Universal Service Programs
Baldwin went on to say: "...At least 75% of the American people would oppose at least one or more of these... According to the MIAC report that is sufficient to make them potential dangerous "militia members."
In response to the MIAC report, the three candidates wrote a letter to Missouri governor Jay Nixon demanding retraction of defamatory and inaccurate characterizations.
The state issued an "apology" to the three men but made no mention of clearing up the myriad other inaccuracies found in the report. The soft "apology" actually blamed those who were profiled saying they "misinterpreted" the report!
In addition to issuing the Travel Advisory, the Constitution Party is encouraging all liberty-minded Americans to contact Missouri governor Jay Nixon to tell him to remove all MIAC report references which cast political opinion in a negative light.

Are they pulling over vehicles with those “Support the Troops” and “God Bless America” magnetic ribbons yet?
The government has good reason to be paranoid of the people.
They know they are overstepping their authority and ignoring the Constitution and the people are fed up.
They can profile me all they want. I will say hell yes I have the First Amendment and the 2nd Amendment as my alli.
And I am proud!
Too little too late
What has happened to our government?

Communist takeover
When do we see the well-deserved lawsuit against the State?
Just as it is impossible to unring a bell, after all the publicity this has received, it is impossible for a reasonable man to believe that those singled out in the report will receive equal treatment in a traffic stop or any other interaction with law enforcement.
Communists, criminals, thugs, homosexuals, statists, black racists, terrorists and other assorted registered democrats have taken it over.
You are now an enemy of the state under charge of thought crime if you support the United States Constitution.
It’s been sold out by cowards and barbarians!
What the heck happened to Missouri? I was just up there last week (Joplin - Springfield area). The folks I know in Mo. may not be as conservative as I am, but they always struck me as reasonable. My guess is you have a couple of liberal enclaves like Kansas City and St. Louis that have a lot of pull in the state government. How far off base am I? This is how BO carried my home state of Virginia.
Robin Carnahan, the daughter of deceased Mel Carnahan (former governor who died in plane crash just before election and was elected senator on the ballot as a dead man...) is our secretary of state. She is a team player for the liberal agenda and was under investigation by the Justice Dept last year for not maintaining the voter rolls in Missouri. Acorn stuffed at least a million bad voters onto the rolls between 2005 - 2008.
Missouri is owned by the Acorn/ dead voter society.
Last week, the Justice Dept (under His orders) dropped investigations into Carnahan's mismanagement of the voter rolls.
I guess we really are stuck with the two party system.
Democrat and democrat lite.
Try for a new, real conservative party and state police are going after ya?
