Our phones are tapped by the government. We are subjected to potential searches just to ride the metrorail. Carrying an economy size tube of toothpaste on a plane is a federal crime. The constitutional right to habeas corpus is no longer valid, if Bush says so! The Vice President claims that orders pertaining to the Executive Branch of the Government don’t apply to his office. The government decides which medicines are OK for you to use, even if you and your doctor don’t agree. Soon, all drivers licenses will be linked to a national database, even though several states are opposed to this invasion of privacy.

The list goes on and on. Now, the Department of Homeland Security wants to require tracking devices in all pleasure boats, require proficiency tests for boaters and require carrying a new government issued ID. What I find truly unbelievable is that the majority of people just keep going along with each new assault on our rights. It is time for the citizenry to say, loudly and clearly, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!! What’s next? The introductions of gulags? I forgot, we already have a gulag, it is spelled GITMO.
