Note to Congress: "They" don't have to bomb our buildings or bridges or be on our streets...
our infrastructure will fall on its own, just as our Constitution will collapse is... all by itself with some help from the lot of you. You, who were elected to guard our liberties and preserve, not a way of life, but the most basic of human rights have collectively failed utterly and miserably.

Don't come to me with platitudes and homilies and expect me to buy your assurances after handing to the most singularly corrupt government in our nation's history our rights on a silver platter. Do not grin broadly in my face right now and expect me to do anything but spit on you. Do not ask me for my vote of confidence in your craven clawings for power and do not expect me to trust you. Not a single one of you. Either side of the aisle. I'm not afraid of "terraists" or people half a world away who right now are just trying to survive. I fear you more. First, for being callous and uncaring about the foundations of democracy and our rights. Second, for being so stupid that you would hand to the likes of *, Cheney, Gonzalez, and Rove a blank check to spy on you too.

Those of you who voted for this FISA mess are deserving of scorn and derision. No more donations or votes or stumping on your behalf. NO more letters of support or comments of affirmation given to friends in conversation. No more.

1. I just CANNOT--in good faith--give any money
to these people.
I know that is wrong, but with the way they are doing business, I have a strong sense of needing to hang on to what I have for the coming bad times that THEY have helped bring.

2. That sounds like an excellent Letter To The Editor.
The choir here on DU agrees with you, now go tell it to the unwashed masses.

3. Thank you for this very thoughtful expression as to why
the direction of this country is still heading in the same direction it was before the 110 congress took it over. The only difference to me is that their more investigations that require them to pass laws to right their illegal actions.

5. AND every one is harping that it is a REPUBLICAN BILL
Meaning that even tho the democrats are in majority, the republicans still rule the roost.

My brother has been harping ever since the 2006 election. He says that republicans sneakily changed parties and got themselves elected under the democrat banner. I guess he is telling the truth. How many more turn coats do we have in congress.
