Uncle Sam Wants Your Internet Speeds

Science

No – it isn’t a bad thing. Quiet the contrary, this is excellent news. Part of the Recovery Act, passed last year, is slated to improve the nation’s broadband infrastructure. This is something desperately needed in our country so that we can compete in the 21st century economy. It should be considered a crime that […]

Deep Thought

Misc

Congress can give the telecom companies immunity from criminal and civil prosecution for illegally tapping the phones of millions of citizens. So why can’t Congress offer a sort of immunity to AIG for not paying up on these so called “contracts”? I guess our constitution just isn’t as important as the people who helped run […]

Nah – He's nothing like Bush

Misc

Except on issues that really matter to Americans, like warrantless wiretapping: If elected president, Senator John McCain would reserve the right to run his own warrantless wiretapping program against Americans, based on the theory that the president’s wartime powers trump federal criminal statutes and court oversight, according to a statement released by his campaign Monday.

So Can We Get Rid Of Telecom Immunity Now?

Misc

Since the Supreme Court is saying people can’t sue the telecom companies for illegal wiretapping, unless the plaintiff has actual documents proving it occurred (ie:  they have the classified documents of who was tapped – which they won’t get), does that mean we can just get rid of the whole telecom immunity part of the […]

Why We Need The "New FISA" Bill

Misc

Screw You America!

Misc

That’s your Republican Party in action. Now they are putting telecom immunity ahead of economic stimulus. Get that? They are saying if the telecom companies can’t have protection from breaking the law constitution, then they will hurt the entire economy.

Edwards Calls On Senate Democrats To Filibuster Telecom Immunity

Misc

Good for him When it comes to protecting the rule of law, words are not enough. We need action. It’s wrong for your government to spy on you. That’s why I’m asking you to join me today in calling on Senate Democrats to filibuster revisions to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that would give […]

FISA Update

Misc

The bill is coming up. The immunity has survived it’s first hurdle. It is looking more like Dodd will have to filibuster it. Will Obama and Clinton come off the campaign trail to stand up against this gift to the telecom companies?

FISA – Again

Misc

The Senate will start debating FISA again very soon. Hopefully we will get our two Democratic presidential candidates, that are also in Senate, to take a break and head to D.C. to help block the immunity for telecom companies. We also need John Edwards to push this message and get help get action done. Jane […]
