34. Not a slacker at all. There's an extensive list lately.

Apr 2012

Some highlights, just from the past few months:

*signed NDAA/"reluctantly" approved indefinite detention

*claimed the right to assassinate American citizens

*pressured state attorneys general for settlements for corrupt banks

*signed authorization to proliferate military drones in American airspace and adapt them for civilian/police use

*sent attorneys all the way to the Supreme Court to argue for the right to surveil using GPS without a warrant (thankfully this one was defeated)

*sent DOJ attorney to the Supreme Court to argue for the right to strip search all arrestees even in the absence of suspicion. (They won this one)

*new, mammoth spy center planned under his administration for collecting email, phone calls, and internet activity of Americans

*Signed ACTA and then tried to hide it from the American press by claiming "national security"

*Currently engaging in backroom negotiations to revive SOPA (per Chris Dodd's own report)

*new "JOBS" bill that is a right-wing gift to corporations

That's just a small sampling of recent news.

So....what can you cite from recent months, that will actually help?
