Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both --b.f.

I got this in an email from the hubby. I thought why not have another political post. Two in two days, Terry would be proud.

Have you heard that George Bush is using the National Security Agency to conduct surveillance on American citizens without the consent of any court?

This is specifically against the law. Bush says political appointees in the Justice Department outlined the legal authority to get around the restrictions in our laws and the Constitution, but those legal memos are classified.

I just added my name to a formal Freedom of Information Act request to see these documents. We need to know if the president broke the law, and where this administration thinks the line of its authority is.

You can sign on to the Freedom of Information Act request here:

Thanks!

I urge everyone to consider doing this, we can't let Bush get away with breaking the laws. I hate how Democrats are held to higher standards. Really, who thinks that the Quakers are a terrorist organization that needs to be monitored secretly? I feel like more and more of our rights and freedoms are being taken away every day, and soon I won't even want to live in this country anymore. Who's for CA and the North East breaking off? Civil War part 2?

Paul Philips also has a post on the subject, but he quotes some idiots in the country who think that "the terrorists" are going to come and get them if we don't allow Bush to break laws like this.
