Texas bill: enviro = terrorist

Texas bill 78(R) HB 443 defines an an "ecological terrorist organization" as "two or more persons organized for the purpose of supporting any politically motivated activity intended to obstruct or deter any person from participating in an activity
involving animals or an activity involving natural resources." Greenpeace and the Sierra Club fit this definition.

If the bill passes, donating money to these organizations will result in a "state jail felony" and civil lawsuits.

New York has a similar bill.
