Nurse Charged with Sedition. Huh?

Nurse Investigated for 'Sedition' After Writing Letter to Editor

This is a very disturbing story.

Merely opposing government policies and expressing a desire to change course "does not provide reason to believe that a person is involved in illegal subversive activity," he said.
Bingaman said such investigations raise "a very real possibility of chilling legitimate political speech."

Although it may be permissible to implement restrictions regarding a government employee's political activities during work hours or on government premises, such employees do not surrender their right to freedom of speech when they enlist in government service."

Berg signed the letter as a private citizen, and the V.A. had no reason to suspect she used government resources to write it..

Then why was she charged with “sedition”????

There’s something about this that I don’t understand.
