In south carolina a senator Robert Ford is trying to pass a bill so that everytime you say a profanity word you will get 5 years in jail or $5,000 in fines.

here is the bill


BILL TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION
16-15-370 SO AS TO MAKE IT UNLAWFUL TO COMMUNICATE PROFANITY Next IN A PUBLIC FORUM
OR PLACE OF PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION; BY ADDING SECTION 16-15-430 SO AS TO CREATE
THE OFFENSE OF DISSEMINATING Previous PROFANITY Next TO A MINOR AND PROVIDE A PENALTY FOR
THE OFFENSE; TO AMEND SECTION 16-15-305, RELATING TO DISSEMINATING OBSCENITY,
SO AS TO SPECIFY BOTH ORAL AND WRITTEN PUBLICATIONS; AND TO AMEND SECTION
16-15-375, RELATING TO DEFINITIONS FOR PURPOSES OF MORALITY AND DECENCY
OFFENSES AGAINST MINORS, SO AS TO INCLUDE THE OFFENSE OF DISSEMINATING
PreviousPROFANITY Next TO A MINOR.

12/10/08 Senate Prefiled
12/10/08 Senate Referred to Committee on Judiciary
01/13/09 Senate Introduced and read first time SJ-98
01/13/09 Senate Referred to Committee on Judiciary SJ-98


this bill is a disgrace to America because this is something that eliminate certain free speech. This is like if your in a sexual relationship with someone and you say the *F word* something tells me that the logic of your children hearing it is close to 25% and its very biased to people to control their anger sometimes and slip a swear at your children. If your a person who has Tourette syndrome and you say a F word to your children you won't be able to control it. This petition is aimed at Robert Ford's bill and this petition is used to nullify the bill.

Be advised that this is South Carolina state only not federal law. Also thrown into this bill if you read the bill on the top is to censor writing.

I support this petition. Imagine what will happen when/if they send a preacher to prison for quoting from the Bible? (it has profanity -- see 2 Kings 18:27 for just ONE example). Come to think of it, every single Christian parent will be guilty of a felony under this law for the same reason (disseminating profanity to minors). Or how about when we send every single schoolteacher in South Carolina to prison for teaching any of these books that I read in Elementary School, Junior High and High School: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; Of Mice and Men; The Color Purple; To Kill a Mockingbird; Slaughterhouse Five; Lord of the Flies; and The Outsiders. Finally, how about when one juvenile says a curse word to another?
