Shawn, it seems you are backtracking now.

Funny, it was relevant two emails ago when you were telling us we were
overreacting because he didn't even propose it as a law....even though it
would seem he is having hearings on the matter. I wonder what the process is
before he proposes a new law!?

Read it again pal. He CO AUTHORED it, meaning he was one of the people that
created it. Sorta hard for the ANY of the senate to pass a law that didn't
exist until HE MADE IT UP!!  Maybe you believe we live in a republic, but as
it stands, the government is controlled by big business and lobbying. Maybe
you don't understand the definition of a republic? Here's a short def. for
ya:
First, power is derived from the people, and second the government itself
operates within and under the control of the law. In other words: In a
REPUBLIC the People are the Masters and the government is subordinate. Maybe
you don't know US history? We don't really have a strong line of "operating
within and under control of the law". And the gov. certainly is NOT
subordinate to us.

What part of "responsible" don't you understand. These bills did not exist
until he proposed them.

First off, your Ben Franklin quote is backwards..second...the original quote
you're trying to use directly contradicts everything following it. The
correct quote is "He who would give up essential liberties for temporary
security shall have neither"  Let me translate that for ya cause it's a
quote MY side uses to support our point anyways LOL- 

If we give up rights like the patriot act has us do in the hopes for some
temp. security, we will have neither. Get it?

That means MORE laws, stripping away MORE RIGHTS, in the name of SECURITY,
is USELESS and WILL NOT WORK.

BTW-
The patriot act does NOT amount to a SHORT TERM inconvenience. It is obvious
sir, that you have no idea what is going on in our government. If you did,
you would know that Hatch and others are trying to get the Patriot act
extended and WERE trying almost immediately after it was passed. It is
people like you who are allowing our civil liberties to be stripped away.
You obviously do not keep track of what is happening in D.C. and instead
would rather spout what you THINK is happening.
