Five-dollar registration fee for persons planning to overthrow US government

Terrorists who want to overthrow the United States government must now register with South Carolina's Secretary of State and declare their intentions -- or face a $25,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison.

The state's "Subversive Activities Registration Act," passed last year and now officially on the books, states that "every member of a subversive organization, or an organization subject to foreign control, every foreign agent and every person who advocates, teaches, advises or practices the duty, necessity or propriety of controlling, conducting, seizing or overthrowing the government of the United States ... shall register with the Secretary of State."

There's even a $5 filing fee.

By "subversive organization," the law means "every corporation, society, association, camp, group, bund, political party, assembly, body or organization, composed of two or more persons, which directly or indirectly advocates, advises, teaches or practices the duty, necessity or propriety of controlling, conducting, seizing or overthrowing the government of the United States [or] of this State."

    • Can I send an anonymous cash payment? 5$ is really very little to invest to keep your options open and insure a clear conscience.

      Now they'll know WHO the subversives are!:))) since they are now registered with the state.
      No more need of the pesky FBI investigation...they can just go to the registrar's office.

      Just like the DMV! Will they get Terrorist Identification Cards? Will there be some kind of test to prove they're a real terrorist and not just faking it? Maybe they could get vanity license plates with pictures of Osama Bin Laden on them. South Carolina leads the nation in innovation and Homeland Defense.

    • That's some thoughtfully considered legislation. SC is going to nickle-dime their way to victory in the war on terra. Brilliant.

    • All of you Tea Partiers aka "Pea-Tards" need to get on down to Columbia and get the proper documentation. Being bat-shit crazy will now cost you five bucks.
