Folks it's time to take a stand and fight to stop the erosion of your 1st & 4th amendment rights. The chicken hawks aka grahm and old man mccain (two traitors who would have been tried for treason by our founding fathers) continue the fear mongering campaign to extend the already deemed illegal by the 2nd highest court(s) in the land. The patriot act (although still very unconstitutional) was not intended to be used on U.S. citizens in the U.S. The telephone megadata collection by the nsa collects EVERY cellular and landline call (name/number/time/date/location info) made here and in other countries. The majority of times the system is being used is for non violent low level drug offenses. The secret FISA court that they "officially" have to use approves 99.599% of all warrants. It is a secret court with no advocate/lawyer for the person they are seeking to spy on. There has been 0 instances where this program has been successful stopping any "terrorist" activities in the U.S. If this system they deploy on us normal people is such a necessary evil, why did the Boston b0mbing happen? Russia even warned these clowns in advance these 2 were up to no good (if they really did it). I remember the week following the incident. There was only 1 news article on it, and it was rarely mentioned on tv(worst placefor news).
Think for yourself. Do your own research, and look up things that are important to your ideology and beliefs. Wikipedia is not the besr, most factual source for information. Major news outlets are biased to their particular agenda (how can a news station be for the left or right). News used to br independent-ish until the mid 1940's. It has gotten a lot worse since the 1990's to present time.
The time to be heard is now. The hawks will succeed in getting the (un)patriot act provisions extended. The founding fathers of our country spoke exactly of instances like this. "When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." (indirectly attributed to Thomas Jefferson in The Federalist.
"Give me Liberty, or give me death!!" - Patrick Henry
Not related to this topic, but just as important is this one which touches every citizen (except corporations who now are people). “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
— Thomas Jefferson, 1802 letter to Secretary of State Albert Gallatin.
