I was surfing the web when I noticed that many of the sites I was looking for are no longer available, they are blocked! I am enraged when I see that my access to the political arena is being censored.
Several of these sites were marked "redirected or access denied." Holy crap! What is happening to the Constitutional Amendments and freedom of speech?
October 26, 2001, the Patriot Act, sign by George W. Bush, eradicate our Constitutional rights. This is highly illegal according to the Constitution itself, hello... these changes are taking place on a daily bases by our president and congress! Do the people of America have to be hit over the head with an enslavement camp before realizing they're losing their freedoms?
Patrick Henry said, "The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."
Changes are happening everyday and without the vote or consent of the people. These changes violate the very principles this country is established upon. The people of The United State of America need to form a body of government... to watch over the body of government. Take a good look at what the Patriot Act has done to your Constitutional rights.
The First Amendment is about freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to assemble. The Patriot Act says that the government is now free to monitor religious and political institutions without any suspicion of criminal activity. The government can also prosecute librarians or the keepers of records (including journalist)."
The Fourth Amendment speaks to our right to be secure "against unreasonable searches and seizures." The Patriot Act says the government can now search and seize Americans' papers and effects without probable cause.
The Sixth Amendment entitles anyone accused of a crime to "a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury." The Patriot Act says that the government can now jail an American indefinitely without a trial and one can be jailed without even being charged of the crime and without representation.
What troubles me more than anything is how Congress can simply vote to supersede the Constitution of The United States of America. They are not allowed, nor do they have the power to vote in new rules arbitrarily, it's against our Constitution! How can we allow this kind of unprecedented change to be happening?
My friend, Debbie, is very politically active and in support of the American Constitution. She believes that the people of this great country own the government and not visa versa. She sends time sending emails in support of her political views. One day her email was blocked due to "Political Controversy," I mean BLOCKED! She couldn't access anything. Debbie is not a terrorist! She is a woman who loves her country. The only weapon in her possession to be considered dangerous is her Estee Lauder perfume. I would like to believe that our government is monitoring the bad guys and not sweet little ladies who love God, the American flag and apple pie! (Internet usage is logged and monitored, so kiss your First Amendment rights goodbye.)
When a country is no longer a Republic, it begins to take on the evil images of Socialism and Communism. This country was set up "for the people by the people." If we don't paying attention to what is happening right now in our country, someday we may find, FREEDOM: ACCESS DENIED! By, Linda Sumner Urza, One find day.
