Traffic has been good and with the rhetoric I used you can be sure that my folks are on the way!

Everyone send everyone you know to the phone.

We must let these cowards know that there will be consequences if they sellout on this!

Fight Back!

You said you wanted less government? Well now they know your every email, call, bank transaction, doctor’s visit, store visit, vacation…Everything. That’s called more government.

Now I can just imagine what a government could do to an individual with this information in order to create censorship and then deny free speech. The amendments are quite dependent on one another.

And that job security you enjoy? Now your company has a proprietary threat every second of every day. That threat could destroy the company you work for and you would be out of a job if the company competitive edge was sold out. Or perhaps you are a small business owner with a new idea that could net $$$$. Suddenly, a big company beats you to the punch…

You want economic growth through less government? This proprietary threat risks sinking our economy even further.

You do not want to become a victim of identity theft? Well the stakes of THAT happening are pretty high as the government continues to drink from the fire hydrant of personal information without any gateway of protection of your information. And the Identity Theft Act does not require the government to notify you when they leak your information or to be responsible in any way.

Finally, the Constitution you so dearly love and many have given their lives to protect? It will no longer “be” in it’s present form once the 4th Amendment is destroyed.

There are many more fear cards from this perspective…At least these fear cards are based on truth and not on lies to CYA…
