You Should Be Pissed Too

If you aren’t as upset about warrantless domestic spying and retroactive immunity to prosecution as I am I encourage you to visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) info page

Please read our Constitution, read the laws and regulations, study the history of our nation and the Enlightenment principles on which it was founded, and be an informed citizen. Your active participation in our democratic republic is absolutely essential if we are to be a Free country deserving of respect from the other nation’s of the world.

As the EFF says:

Warrantless surveillance violates the Fourth Amendment, FISA, the Wiretap Act, and most likely the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. Moreover, it is neither authorized nor justified by the Constitutional power of the executive.

Cornell University’s Law School’s Legal Information Institute makes it easy to dig into our nation’s legal code. It is really not as hard to read our laws as many people fear. I admit it is often dry reading.

Web sites like OpenCongress.org are making it easy to keep tabs on what our delegation is doing in D.C., read the text of and follow the progress of bills, and share information.
