The US Democratic-controlled Congress did the unthinkable on Saturday night: They gave President Bush and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who is currently mired in scandal and probably committed perjury on this very issue, more unchecked power to wiretap Americans without a warrant. There is no trade-off between fundamental liberties and security. Preserving our Constitution is essential to our security—we can't lead on freedom around the world when we're actively undermining the rule of law at home.If this concerns you a great deal, then sign onto this petition demanding that Congress reverse this capitulation to Bush and the politics of fear.
