might be our only hope. Our govt does not listen to liberals or the ACLU or Occupy. But it bends over backward to accommodate the Tea Party. If we can get them to start screaming about this, maybe we can start a movement that won't be ignored. Maybe they can put the fear of God in those intruding on our privacy. God knows we progressives can't.
