Notes on FISA and PAA revisions

This is the MoveOn Action

Honorable Senator Rockefeller:

Please represent my views in support of one law, equally applied to all parties, under which all parties--citizens and corporations--are justly held accountable.

This particularly pertains to secret government programs to "monitor terrorists" by spying, eavesdropping and culling the phone records of law abiding citizens.

I refuse to let terrorists declare victory over our Constitutional rights.

In fact, our rights are enshrined in the Constitution, not because our government has any proprietary authority over who benefits from them and to what extent they are bestowed upon citizens, aliens and foreigners. No, on the contrary, the Second and Fourth Amendments and the limitations on the Article II powers are enshrined in the Constitution because they represent "universal truths" that are "self-evident" as the Declaration of Independence so plainly states.

These rights and the equality of their legal application pertain to "all men [people]." (They do not contain to fictional constructions such as corporations.)

The government's sole responsibility is to protect, safeguard and extend our citizens' rights, from rogue politicians, economic entitities or foreign and domestic enemies. Terrorists are any foreign and domestic entity that use terror for political gain.

What would constitute political gain for terrorists? How about frightening our "leaders" into attempting to curtail our God-given, Constitutionally codified rights and liberties.

Uphold the law, the Constitution and its principles. Do not give in to terror as some cowardly "leaders" insist we must do to "be safe."

The "soft on terror" are those who would capitulate by cowering from the front lines in defense of liberty and freedom and finding excuses like "economic necessity" or "national security" for placing restrictions and inequalities on universal, guaranteed American citizens' rights and liberties.

Sincerely,

Capitaine Dunquerque
