Ten years ago some of us were opposed to the so-called "Patriot" Act as a violation of the very foundations that made this country free and the envy of every totalitarian state in existence. Today, many of those who supported the Patriot Act believing it would keep us "safe" are seeing the light; however, many people are just as blind, willingly or not, to the true aspects of the Patriot Act.

If we are to pretend we actually live in a democracy then we need to call our congressional representatives to task: force them to let the Patriot Act die and to return freedom and privacy to the American people.

Hope everyone enjoys knowing that the NSA is tracking all of your calls.  Hope that makes everyone who supported this bill in the first place and support our current president when he renewed it feel REAL SAFE.
