“Liberty is the soul's right to breathe and, when it cannot take a long breath, laws are girdled too tight” - Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
After September 11th, 2001 the American outlook was shaken, and we as a people were brought to our knees. In a knee jerk reaction the President of the United States passed through Congress a series of laws to combat terrorism. The Patriot Act armed at fighting terror not only became a tool for authorities against the “Bad Guys,” but gave the Federal government the authority to decimate the 4th Amendment and our Civil Liberties.
The President is tiring to enact the Protect America Act which will allow the government to tap anyone’s phone who is communicating with someone outside the U.S. The question that should be posed in all of this is where does it stop. We as a people and a Nation are headed down a slippery slope, one that if we do not protect or freedoms we may end up losing them. For more information go to:
