Arizona Legislators

Arizona is famous or infamous for the anti-immigrant law, and now they are proposing the following law:
“It is unlawful for any person, with intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend, to use any electronic or digital device and use any obscene, lewd or profane language or suggest any lewd or lascivious act, or threaten to inflict physical harm to the person or property of any person. It is also unlawful to otherwise disturb by repeated anonymous electronic or digital communications the peace, quiet or right of privacy of any person at the place where the communications were received.”

The following quote from the story should make everyone  (and NOT some) think twice before supporting such legislation.
"Some worry the “annoy or offend” language in the bill could be used to stifle political, economic and cultural criticism, controversial remarks — whether it be Bill Maher or Rush Limbaugh — and even satire and political cartoons."
