Fight PATRIOT III — write your Senator today!

Boing Boing: Fight PATRIOT III — write your Senator today!

If you are a resident of Kansas, Utah, Ohio, Missouri, Maine, Nebraska, Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia, Michigan, California, Oregon, Indiana, Maryland, or New Jersey, your senator is on the committee reviewing this bill in a closed session on Thursday.

Jeebers, this is scary stuff! I’ll bet if you listen closely you can hear the framers of the Constitution spinning in their graves. Once more, let us refer to the wise words of Mr. Steve Earle:

What if I told you it was done with mirrors
What if I showed you it was all a lie
Better be careful someone might hear ya
The walls have ears and the sky has eyes.

What if I said you were only dreamin’
What you wanna bet that all you gotta do
Is open up your eyes and you will wake up screamin’
When you realize that it’s all come true.

(Conspiracy Theory, from the album Jerusalem)
