I have held strong opinions against GWB reauthorizing the Patriot Act and the vote along party lines making permanent the government's unprecedented powers to investigate suspected terrorists. Allowing the white house to go above the law and spy on US citizens is unlawful, immoral, and grounds for impeachment. Why? Why shouldn't we allow out going calls to Al Queda to be over looked? Because the Bush administration isn't just spying on calls that are going outside of the US. It's because it breaks our Bill of Rights. It takes away our freedom of speach...

I have been following Amy Goodman and "Democracy Now" for quite some time. She is a reputable and well respected journalist. In her latest installment, she interviews a victim of Bush's illegal acts of spying on america. This woman simply wrote a letter and published it. She had FBI storm in on her, her computor was confisgated, and all of her private files were examined and copied. She had her rights stripped of her and her personal files examined and filed. This is the first person that has come forward to announce this illegal act. You can only imagine all of the others that could have had this happen to them and fear coming forward to tell about it. The link is here, and you can also listen to the interview. Even in the interview she was timid and scared. You can simply hear it in her voice:

This "reauthorizing hte Patriot Act" is just another step forward to the fascist acts of the white house.

Like I've said before, fascism has many faces...right now, it's the Bush administration.

DVPGSR has already seen this and I welcome his opinion - you can copy paste as did I...But be weary of what the current agenda's interest's are....are they really a cause to fight terrorists acts? Or are they really an attemtp to fight speacial interest attacks?
