Morning my fellow Chatt-ites. I want to talk about rights. The gov't (both Republicans & Democrats) have allowed torture to be carried out under the auspices of the 'war on terror.' The one thing I truly believe in, as an American and an individual, is liberty & freedom. Anytime the gov't increases security, we end up having to sacrifice another right so that they can prevent 'another 9-11.' I truly grieved for the people involved in the tragedy, but am not willing to give up the rights granted to every American out of fear of the unknown. We are better than that. Whenever we allow the gov't to twist our laws we lose our own identity.
So with that said, I joined the American Freedom Campaign . Yeah I know its run by a bunch of lawyers who just want to be able to sue the gov't for all their transgresses, but that doesn't mean they're not right. Their end motivation might be less than honorable but their chosen battle is one that's worth fighting for. I think the federal gov't, specifically the people in office who allowed, and even authorized, any ILLEGAL methodology, should be held responsible and prosecuted according to our laws. No torture, no abuse, just fair & legal prosecution matched against truthful defense. In front of a jury of our fellow Americans, as granted by our Constitution.
Check out their page, if you agree sign up. If not well, don't complain as we gradually become a fascist state.
