Bush Administration Stomps on Our Constitutional Rights
By Rhonda Chriss Lokeman The Kansas City Star Sunday 25 June 2006

===========
We should all question why the federal government silenced librarians until after Congress renewed the USA Patriot Act.

Librarians who had wanted to speak publicly or testify before Congress during hearings were prohibited from doing so. They were threatened with federal imprisonment if they did. Once the Patriot Act was renewed, the gag was lifted.

Once you've read the Constitutional rights and noticed how they've been abrogated, try reading the Declaration of Independence for suggestions of what to do about it.

Right on, Barbara! Secession is the way. I think you're coming around. When hyperinflation hits, secession will get massive support. (...unless people are so subservient and indoctrinated that they opt for a tyrant.)

Who controls the voting machines is the technological version of ballot box stuffers.

But Sav, I hypothesized hyperinflation. I suspect people's attitudes will change considerably when their money becomes worthless.

Hogeye, I was referring (only minimally humorously) to the fact that people already did opt for a tyrant in the 2004 election...
