Repeal the Patriot Act

The citizenry cannot genuinely contribute to government discourse when they live in the shadow of fear and oppression. Laws and statutes such as the Patriot Act allow the government to move in silence and darkness, diminishing accountability and leaving the people in a state of fear. American federal government is not based on the premise of oppression, it is based off of liberation and personal accountability. Wiretaps, and access to library records are not priviliges I ceded to the Federal government, it was the Congress. Im here to stand up and say I want my privileges to privacy back.

    The so called "Patriot Act" shreds the Bill of Rights. There is no more important issue. Without constitutional protections every other issue may as well be a sandcastle.

    They disabled the voting mechanism on this issue.

    They will not give up this control over the people willingly. We have to force them to do the right thing. No one will give up power given to them.

    You are correct that they the government will not give up the power that the people have so easily handed to them on a silver platter. This must be continued to be brought up every time you vote for your state Senators and Representatives. We must demand our rights and our privacy be restored.

    Power was handed to Obama because he would not change much. Bush\Cheney would still be there by causing a crisis. The elite picked Obama to be the next "puppet" for them.

    Obama promised the Canadians and Mexican leaders our trade and border agenda would go forward. Right now they both have self interest and a trade surplus with us.

    What kind of deal maker is Obama? Looks like treason to me since none of the citizens of the three countries agreed to the Americas Union. America loses in all cases. Why do our leaders hate us?

    Steven,

    You sound angry!! I have been closely watching Obama and he slowly and deliberately chips away at things and this to shall pass. We do need other countries to trade with and we don't need an angry leader shooting from the hip to change things. We did not get in this trade predicament over night and we will not get out of it over night. If you don't like where this country is with trade be sure and look at every product you buy to see where it is made. You will be suprised to find almost everything you purchase can be made in the U.S.A. Even if you shop at China Central (Wal-Mart). I have been able to find everything from dryer sheets, lightbulbs (Krogers), to socks, and even garden hoses(Wal-Mart) are cheaper made in the U.S.A. That keeps are truckers working and americans in their factory jobs. Shop smart and tell others to do the same. We don't need government to change our habits only we can do that.
