Part of George W. Bush's legacy are laws that allow our government to trample our constitutional rights in the name of "national security."
First, after 9/11, there was the PATRIOT Act, which threw open the door to massive government spying. Then there was the FISA Amendment Act of 2008, which gave retroactive immunity to the telecoms that aided Bush's illegal wiretapping program.
The FISA Amendments Act also allowed government spy agencies to suck up and store vast amounts of electronic information about people on foreign soil who don't enjoy constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure afforded to American citizens.
In practice, however, loopholes in the law also allow massive amounts of warrantless spying on innocent Americans.
Progressive champion Sen. Jeff Merkley is trying to change that and rein in intelligence programs that are spying on Americans. And this week he introduced the Protect America's Privacy Act (S. 3515) to do just that.
I just signed a petition telling my senators to co-sponsor Sen. Merkley's Protect America's Privacy Act to end warrantless spying on Americans. I hope you will, too.
You can find the petition and more information at the link below.

END government opacity
People should have voted for Kucinich in 2008 primaries. Not only was he the only man running in the primaries that voted no on all those bills.... but he also tried to impeach Bush.
When asked why he voted NO on the "Patriot Act" - Kucinich said "Because I actually read it"
Money in politics has created a dangerous game.

lol you think aliens can't exist? That's your business.
Barack Obama believes a woman can give birth without having semen put into her vagina... he also thinks there is another realm for bad people when they die.
What does any of this have to do with the topic of discussion? Nothing. Nice diversion.
Unelectable means not being financed by the banks and corporations.
most people didn't know who Dennis was yet alone his wife's belief system. That has a lot to do with money in politics.

How is someone's religious belief any different from someone's belief in alien existence in the universe?
Also none of this has anything to do with Dennis Kucinich or his perfect voting record.
You're doing what they did to him during the debates. You're trying to discredit him because of something that doesn't matter and you're phrasing it differently than the truth.
Also there have been a bunch of UFO's seen throughout history. Most of which just turn out to be new military technology being tested. UFO doesn't mean ALIENS. It means Unidentified Flying Object. Like the one that was photographed and shut down that airport in China and was covered all over the news. It turned out to be military testing.
Here is Elizabeth Kucinich talking about the issue - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3414086207023980524
What you said about her and what she states here are completely different. Why are you spreading misinformation? His wife thinks alien life in other galaxies is possible. Neither of the Kucinich's have said "aliens traveled here"
You have my sympathy for being so narrow minded on an issue.
Many people have seen UFO's. Doesn't mean they've seen aliens or think the UFO's are aliens. I saw a UFO when I was younger. It turned out it was a meteor or something that was passing through the sky that night that I was unaware of at the time I saw it.

If you want to talk about mass suicides and murder... you should talk about religions in the name of a God.
You know many scientists at NASA think forms of alien life exists in the Univers and possibly even did or does on other planets in our galaxy.
One of the hopes of the Curiosity rover is to find traces of bacteria or possibly even fossils
[Removed]
You went on this weird rant in your previous comment where you talk about "culture of aliens" and categorized it with mass suicide and the Nazis.
Which is why I said what I said.
To lump the "culture of aliens" into a category like that is wrong.

Signed and tweeted.
What I added to the petition:
Protect the individual rights of the people. It is time and long past time that the terror propaganda stops being used on the American Public to have them let their rights and freedoms taken away.
Signed and tweeted. Love threads like this. Good show, Zen.
