ACLU Wants Me To Help This Petition Take Wings

So that's-a what-a I'm-a gonna do. Gov't spying. More of it. On *us*. Wonderful, ain't it?
So........
Dear Fellow DU-er of Good,
I just learned about a massive government program to spy on the phone calls of Americans. According to a leaked court document obtained by The Guardian, the U.S. government has been secretly tracking the calls of every Verizon Business Network Services customer — whom they talked to, from where, and for how long — for the past 41 days using the Patriot Act.
Verizon Business Network Services is one of the nation’s largest telecommunications and Internet providers for corporations, so this could apply to the calls of millions of Americans.
What we don't yet know is how many other telecommunications companies have been issued similar orders by the government or what the scope of the government's program is.
In 2012, Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.) wrote, “When the American people find out how their government has secretly interpreted the Patriot Act, they are going to be stunned and they are going to be angry.â€
It's time to get angry. Be part of a strong public outcry against this program by signing the petition immediately:

Thanks.

Sure they do... Just because they're DUmmies themselves doesn't mean they want a lower (much lower) DUmbass on the totem pole "helping them out."

1. Don't all sign up at once. Seriously....
if you're worried about getting on ( another) list... I can understand it. But just being HERE is kind of a risk these days. If you know what I mean.
I'm on so many by now that I don't think it makes any difference

Pfft. The Guardian is their favorite jack rag. If TG says it, they eat it up. Doesn't matter what it is. However, I think one of those VRWC members had something to do with this. Needed to unstick that ParGen dial, or something. It's been idle too long.
At least, that's what I heard in the last meeting...

At 11,223 now. Until it gets bigger no way do I sign after what has been exposed in the last few months. I know I'm on a list but that is fast tracking me to an audit by the epa, osha, or irs. Get up into the ^6+ and I'm all on.
