Over 160,000 FOIA requests are filed!

[Ezlivin]

Shortly after the New York Times publicized the president's domestic-spying-without-a-warrant program, over 160,000 Americans signed a Freedom of Information Act Request along with Governor Dean in an attempt to determine just why President Bush believed he had the authority to undermine the Constitution. Earlier today Joe Sandler, DNC attorney, delivered each and every one of those FOIA requests to the Department of Justice.

6. What would happen if the same amount (or more) delivered

FOIA requests for any fbi or NSA files for each individual? Isn't this how the ACLU uncovered the spying on the quaker group - by filing an FOIA? What if we each filed one. What if two million americans or more each filed individual FOIA requests for any files created by the bushco on each individual?

9. Quantity or quality?

I don't know if the "average" American has much power, even in numbers.

It seems that if a high-profile person (Murtha, Dean, et al) posted a FOIA request, it would carry more weight than even perhaps thousands of ordinary FOIA requests.

I hope I'm wrong.
