Phone Spying
You are being spied on by your government. See the story on ABC News
http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/story?id=1491889.
The NSA has built the largest database in the world according to a source quoted on CBS. "It's a complete database of every phone call made within the United States", their source said.
This was done without warrants in total violation of your 4th amendment rights!
Congressional leaders on both sides of the isle demanded answers. None were forthcoming, but Bush defended the NSA and admitted that he gave the ok to spy on a small number of Americans.
To make matters worse, Bush has nominated General Michael Hayden who was the NSA head during this spying program to be the new head of the CIA!
Hayden has said that he might resign from the Air Force because of criticisms of having a General in charge of a civilian agency.
Republican congressional leaders are slowly coming in line with Hayden's appointment. Trent Lott ( R) said that he would vote to confirm is nothing comes up to change his mind.
What does he call criminal spying on American citizens?
As for Bush's response about the constitutional issues, at one time he was on record explaining that the Constitution is more of a guideline, a suggestion, to be considered, and not a law . He considers himself above the constitution!
At&t , Verizon and Bell-South all co-operated with the government by giving the government total access to their records. Qwest is the only major telco to tell the NSA that they wanted to see their warrants.
So, what can you do about this?
1. Call or write your congressman and demand that the government be held accountable for their actions.
2. Call or write your phone provider and let them know that you do not like their giving up your private information in a totally illegal and
unethecal way.
3. In November, vote straight Democrat. We must remove the evil doers from government and eliminate their supporters and party members who do nothing because they don't want to rock the boat.
Voting for an independent or a third party candidate as a protest may make you feel better , but since the person recieveing your vote will not be able to win and may actually take votes from candidates who might stand a real chance changing things.
We must bring about change.
We must also seperate Church and State again. The American way of life is in danger.
