68 Senators violated their oaths of office - Take Action

downsizedc.org — "The government is meant to serve the nation, not BE the country." The story of the oath of office is the backdrop for this DownsizeDC.org piece about the Senate's vote for warrantless surveillance and telecom immunity. But there's still hope. The House version of the bill doesn't include these things. And DownsizeDC.org helps you to get involved.

  • poobah252, on 02/13/2008, -1/+15Excellent commentary.
  • charlesep, on 02/13/2008, -1/+12The frog is being slowly boiled.
    Our descendants will wonder WTF we were thinking.
  • CasaWood, on 02/13/2008, -1/+10Shout this out as loud as possible!!
  • animalwheeler, on 02/13/2008, -0/+7The exact same frog analogy came to mind for me as well.
  • nicholai, on 02/14/2008, -0/+4Hillary and Obama will be just as bad as Bush, McCain will be worse than Bush.

    Big Brother-sized Goliath godvernment MUST secure the borders. First thing first. Doing that makes moot its main excuse to spy on true-Patriot Americans. But, hey, why do only 1 crime when you do 2? Better to rip asunder the border and champion INVASION by HOSTILE OCCUPIERS including al-CIA-da terrorists. And, AND wiretap, eavesdrop and spy on everyone while shredding the 4th Amendment.
    What else could you expect from stentorian senators in the federal-mafia syndicate?
    Contact your non-representative in the HoRs. Tell him/her to oppose spying on Americans and killing the 4th Amendment.
  • inactive, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3Agreed on that one. Both parties are equally bad.

    Kay Bailey Hutchison essentially bragged that this was what she was going to do in canned responses to my requests that PAA be allowed to sunset. Citing unnamed threats to national security she (like most conservatives) was all to willing to give up our freedom for the appearance of greater security.

    At least she answered letters sent to her office. John Cornyn has never responded to a single request that I have sent him.

    If only Texas allowed for a method to recall Senators from Washington, I'd be agitating for that right now. As it is I think it would be a crime to send either of them back to Washington. It was the job of the government to protect us from 9-11 in the first place, not remove our freedom as a consequence of their failure.
