Selling Our Rights Down The River!

Every since 9/11 our government has used every chance to take our rights and civil liberties away in the name of security. If we stand by and allow this we will most definitely receive neither our rights or security. They have continuously stripped our rights especially when it pertains to the governments ability to spy in on our lives without a warrant. And as the usual mantra, it makes us more secure.

Well this week, thanks to the Congress, the current gains its wish once again. It passed a bill that expands the warrant less intrusion of our phone conversations, email conversations, internet traffic, banking records, etc. However this one goes a little further than the previous stripping of our rights. This bill gives immunity to telecommunication companies that aid the government of this illegal act from being sued by its customers.

When are we, as citizens, going to be smart enough to stand up and refuse to let this happen. We need to make our politicians be held responsible for the stripping of our rights, and make them aware that we are the ones that pay their salaries and we will hold them responsible for their unethical, Unlawful, and Unconstitutional actions.

Viva Liberty!
