Citizen bothered by Bush's actions

Our Constitution as the supreme law of the land, is a living document that can only be changed by an overwhelming vote by three-quarters of the states in our United States.

Our president has openly admitted to the high crime of personally authorizing wiretaps without a court ordered warrant. This is clearly in violation of the fourth amendment to our Constitution. It was made explicit in the 1978 FISA Act that defined legal electronic eavesdropping activity, and set specific criminal penalties for illegal abuse of these techniques.

The president is so far outside the spirit of our law to suggest that he must be able to continue this behavior, and that those corporations that did his bidding, should be protected from prosecution by the infamous excuse used by the Nazi's; that they were "only following orders." This is contemptible and illegal.

However, it looks very likely that our Congressional creatures agree with this position and are betraying our nation. This is being accomplished by Senate Bill 2248- extending and amending FISA to make obvious violation of the Constitution "legal."

Apparently, we now have a twofaced, oneparty government in America made up of thugs and enablers. Telecom immunity is about "some animals being more equal than others"- making laws to protect their criminal activities and those of their cronies. What part of the oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic is hard to understand?

I am profoundly sickened and disgusted with "all the little piggies" and weasels currently dominating our country. To quote Shakespeare, "A pox on both your houses," and the Bible, "This too shall pass." When it does, will we still be living in America or will our country be collapsed in ruin like the former Soviet State?"

You have a rare opportunity to participate. This contentious debate has been extended for two weeks. Please call Senator Diane Feinstein's office, and politely tell the nice people, that answer the phones, how you would vote on this issue.

Stay as free as you can.
