We Are At The Point Of No Return

The Senate is poised to plunge America into a state of tyranny and secrecy. The Democratic leadership is bowing to the pressure of the Bush administration to grant immunity to telecommunications companies who gave away your privacy without a legal requirement to do so. We are at the point of Constitutional crisis and if we don’t mobilize to thwart this insidious and secretive law, then we don’t deserve what freedoms we do still have.

The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.
