The Latest Erosion of Your Privacy - or How the U.S. Became Soviet Russia

The latest erosion of your privacy - or How the U.S. Became Soviet Russia

In case you missed it, Bush just tightened his grip on your freedoms with his latest signing statement - or did you know about signing statements? Bills that have been passed by both houses of Congress and sent to Bush for his signature, turning them from bills into laws, have taken a fascist turn with Bush's ego-tripping. As the "decider", he feels he has the right to "tailor" the bills to his liking by adding signing statements that say what part of the bill he'll obey, and what part of it he won't obey. The latest travesty is his signing statement on what should have been a status quo postal bill. The bill promised to keep our mail private, among other U.S. postal issues, but when Bush signed it, he added a signing statement. This statement gives him the right to open your mail without your consent, and read it, without your consent - without ever letting you know that your mail was intercepted and read! It used to take a court order to invade your privacy in this way, but now, all Bush has to do is say that national security is at stake. Once again, he plays on the cowardice of Americans to take away another freedom. When I was growing up, these were the stories we heard about life in Soviet Russia - no privacy, no individual freedoms. The government had all the rights. Now I see Bush turning America into what Soviet Russia used to be when we were bitter enemies with the country because they denied their citizens any rights!
$13 million an hour of taxpayers' money is going to fund a war that WE started and no one wants. At the same time, our rights and freedoms are being ripped from us one at a time while Halliburton subsidiary builds detention camps for those who will soon rebel against this fascism.
WAKE UP AND SCREAM!!!
They listen to your phone calls. They read your mail. Soon, they will take away the Internet.
WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
