“We did everything he wants.” — spokesman for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, August 3 2007
Pelosi’s spokesman was referring to Congressional Democratic leadership’s decision to support George W. Bush’s pet legislation that, in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s 4th Amendment, authorizes wiretaps of phone calls without a warrant.
Do you care about the American tradition of civil liberties? Are you opposed to Big Brother Government? Do you believe that our politicians in Washington, DC should fulfill their oaths to support and defend the U.S. Constitution?
If your answer to these questions is “Yes,” the Republicans have shown over and over again that they are not on your side. But in their roll-over on the 4th Amendment, the Congressional Democratic leadership has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted either. In the next national election of 2008, we need to send people to Washington, DC who know how to stand up for the Constitution. We need to identify and put people in office who have the capacity to just say NO.
