I just signed a petition to Senator Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi about a bill they allowed to pass last week.
Democratic “leaders” crossed the line and betrayed the will of the majority who put them in power in 2006. A timid Congress caved in to President Bush and his demand for more out-of-control authority to spy on Americans.
The FISA gutting legislation voted on last weekend allows for massive, untargeted collection of Americans’ international communications without court order. The law allows for no meaningful oversight by either Congress or the courts and leaves decisions about the collection, mining and use of American information up to the Bush Administration’s Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales.
Please take a few minutes to sign the petition and tell Congress you believe in the Constitution and demand that it fix this legislation.

IN RESPONSE TO THIS BILL:
"The man who trades his freedom for security deserves neither"
You people make a mockery of our nation with your continued acceptance of the loss of our civil liberties in favor of this sham you call "national security", which is really a false sense of security. Your laws are like the electronic gates on apartment complexes. The price of the apartment is raised because it offers a sense of "security" with the electronic gate, but really anyone can get through simply by following in the car ahead of them or by walking through the pedestrian door in the fence. The gate means nothing. It looks dark and forboding and comes with a steep price, but in the end, we have done nothing that will stop those who wish to harm us.
