Divide and Conquer...
This tactic has been used in warfare since time immemorial. It is also used in prestidigitation (magic). The Magician misdirects your attention to an area of his choice so you miss the actual event that causes the appearance of magic.
We are being SOOOO duped.
With all of the laws that have been garnered to reduce our civil rights and our Constitutional freedoms, what ONE piece of legislation is at the root of it?
The Patriot Act.
While we citizens are mired up in the fight for our way of life;
Immigration
Taxation
Free Speech (1st amendment)
Gun rights (2nd amendment)
Illegal search (4th amendment)
Due Process (5th amendment)
The right of the People to challenge the Government for redress (1st,7th,8th and 9th amendments)
The other hand is cementing the conditions of the Patriot Act.
So ask yourself, what SINGLE piece of legislation abolishes all of our Constitutional Freedoms?
The Patriot Act.
The latest revision allows law enforcement under the guise (or accusation) of domestic Terrorism, to deny you your Constitutionally guaranteed rights of due process. If you do not know what that means, it means, No lawyer, it means you can be thrown in jail indefinitely, it means that ALL of your belongings can be taken from you, it means that they (your captors) can do whatever they want to you without ANY fear of reprisal. (by the way, that sounds a lot like a dictatorship)
This single Act allows the President (one person) to act independent of the Governing body of congress. To implement Law (martial Law) as He sees fit.
President George Bush has already made history by:
Going to war without congressional consent. He later got approval, but only because we were so vested.
Removing our security from illegal search and seizure (constitutionally guaranteed by the 4th amendment). Do you remember the evidence of illegal wiretaps that were recently discovered? (it was brushed under the rug... (The government wouldn't do that!!!)
Our current government in the time frame of one administration created it own version of the KGB (yes the Russia spy organization), Homeland Security, to spy on its own people. In direct violation of your constitutional rights.
It is time to get focused and stop being misdirected. The time for the Patriot Act is OVER.
END IT NOW.
Focus all of your energies on this one task and it will resolve many others. Just like pulling the one string that unravels the knot.
If we let terms of The Patriot Act continue, Martial Law will follow. Then all of the guarantees we need to stand up to our government will be useless.
Including this forum. God bless (can I say that)?

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
If we cannot find a way to defeat this abomination (Patriot Act), then nothing else we do in the future will matter much. We'll be stopped every step of the way by it.
We have been distracted!!!
