Calling San Francisco...

The FISA Bill was a complete joke. It was outrageous, in fact the only thing more outrageous was that not many knew about it. Most people I asked about it had heard the word FISA but did not know what it meant. This really concerns me. When a bill is put forward to insure the safety of phone companies who listen in on us for the government..and no one really discusses it, oh and by the way there were no court orders to do this? This really really concerns me. This goes beyond the idea of a slippery slope towards losing privacy. The slope was thrown out and we are already in the midst of a dangerous heap at the bottom of that said slope. The fact that the current administration is trying to push the idea that this bill would protect the everyday citizen from terrorism-is insulting and just plain wrong. The other part of this that really bothers me-is that the dirty deed was carried out in a secret room in my beloved city. SF say it isn't so.

Lastly, I ask you to look up who voted for and against this phony anti-terrorism bill. In particular-any certain presidential candidates? Please, please keep at least a little informed about these issues-it affects you all.
