Big Brother is Watching You
Write Your RepresentativeGeorge Orwell saw the future when he wrote 1984. It is coming. His predicted time was just a few decades early. The novel can be read here. If you do not want the plot spoiled for you do not read the introduction on this page and go directly to the Chapter 1 link.
The Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry
into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It
both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums
of war reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has
'closed', the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry.
Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer
up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this
is what I have done. AND I AM CAESAR."
-- Julius Caesar
"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman, and child of this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland." --Adolph Hitler
"There are things in the Constitution that have been overtaken by events,
by time. Declaration of war is one of them. There are things no longer relevant
to a modern society. Why declare war if you don't have to? We are saying to
the President, use your judgment. So, to demand that we declare war is to
strengthen something to death. You have got a hammerlock on this situation,
and it is not called for. Inappropriate, anachronistic, it isn't done anymore.."
--Congressman Henry Hyde October 3, 2002, in the House of Representatives,
during the second day of a two-day hearing on the Iraq Resolution (H.J. Resolution
114), "AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ."
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
-- Article VI, Clause 3, of the United
States Constitution
"When you come right down to it, the president is
king and he can do what he wants. The rule of law is overrated, especially
when our president demands his way during times of danger. We put him in power
for a reason and protecting him from outside scrutiny serves our national
interests."
-- Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority when the United States
Supreme Court ruled President Bush does not have to turn over subpoenaed documents
to the commission
investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. It was a 5-4 vote and the
same justices who supported Bush's position selected him to be president in
the disputed year 2000 election.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following
Oath or Affirmation: � "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully
execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best
of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United
States."
-- Article II, Section 1, Clause 8, of the United
States Constitution
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United
States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall,
without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office,
or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
-- Article 1, Section 9, Paragraph 8, of the United
States Constitution.
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the
United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
-- Article I, Section 1 of the United
States Constitution

Video covering opposition to Real ID in New Hampshire
You were told the NSA's spying program is really limited to foreign communications or is otherwise consistent with the NSA's charter or with FISA. Right.
There are now two bills before Congress. One will renew and expand the unconstitutinal invasions of privacy making is even more insecure in our papers and effects and another act, the Safe Act, that would limit the Patriot Act already passed. Show your congressman your oppostion to the continuance and expansion of the Patriot Act here. Please add mention of the support for Safe Act to the form letter you can send from there.
Fight the "Be A Snitch or Go To Jail!" bill.
