Anyone who has the courage to stand up in the face of atrocity has my support. I would front line for this man, and it saddens me to think how many people wouldn't. How is it acceptable to call ourselves a free state, when we allow ELECTED government to spy on us at any time of their choosing? Do you understand the risks involved, the opportunity for anything you do, including the kind of medication you are on, or any private personal information you discuss with friends or family on the phone, online, in emails, etc they could use against you in any way IF they got the inclination to do so? And what sets off a person to DO so? Sheesh. Forget the president, this is our PEER group, hired by a private firm which does business for our ELECTED government. Wise up americans, Wise up.
