So I just read
this article saying that, despite all his talk of hope and change, Obama is going to support legislation that grants legal immunity to telecommunications companies who tap our phones without warrants as part of the Bush Administrations program. You might remember this issue being brought up on
this featured post by bobbyduncan about FISA. This makes me incredibly incredibly angry, but I will try to avoid going on a political rant. Instead, I will recommend that Obama supporters - or even just FISA opposers - go to Obama's website and log on to his little social networking thingamabobber
HERE and join the anti-FISA group. Please go help encourage him to step away from the dark side and to support our constitutional rights. There are already almost 12,000 people in the group. Hopefully that will help him see what is important to his supporters.
I do have to say though that I find it almost comical the Republicans are slowly stripping away our rights like this when the whole historical concept of being Republican was that you wanted the government involved in our lives as little as possible. How the Republican party has changed....
