Feds Push for Tracking Your Cell Phones

“This is a critical question for privacy in the 21st century. If the courts do side with the government, that means that everywhere we go, in the real world and online, will be an open book to the government unprotected by the Fourth Amendment.”
–Kevin Bankston, attorney, Electronic Frontier Foundation

The Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no “reasonable expectation of privacy” in their–or at least their cell phones’–whereabouts.

U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that “a customer’s Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records” that show where a mobile device placed and received calls.

Those claims have alarmed the ACLU and other civil liberties groups, which have opposed the Justice Department’s request and plan to tell the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia that Americans’ privacy deserves more protection and judicial oversight than what the administration has proposed.

In God We Still Trust – Diamond Rio

This song was written by Bill and Kim Nash and performed for the first time in March 2005 by Diamond Rio. While performing, Diamond Rio received an immediate standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it!

Sadly, major radio stations wouldn’t play it because it was considered politically incorrect. Consequently, the song was never released to the public. Until now.

This song has now been released on a new album by Diamond Rio. (Titled: Diamond Rio) But, it is not being played on the radio.

If this song speaks to your heart and you feel you want to share it with friends and loved ones, please do. Call your radio station and request the song every day – every time you think of it.

Buy the CD. Tell your friends and family to buy the CD.

Take a listen . . .

President Obama places INTERPOL above the United States Constitution

27 Dec

Posted by Wally Wally

While all hands on deck have been focused on the healthcare “debate” and Christmas family matters, President Obama last week quietly signed an amendment to Executive Order 12425 (signed by Reagan in 1983, but with restrictions in place to protect the Constitutional rights of our citizens), effectively eroding American sovereignty by immunizing INTERPOL activities within the U.S.

By removing language from President Reagan’s 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates – now operates – on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

Why would President Obama place INTERPOL above the United States Constitution and beyond the legal reach of our own top law enforcement?

December 15 is Bill of Rights Day

15 Dec

December 15 is Bill of Rights day, a national holiday that was signed into law by Franklin Delano Roosevelt on that day in 1941. For those who know their history, that was just a week after the attack on Pearl Harbor that brought the United States into World War Two.

This is in sharp contrast to what is occurring in Congress today as the Obama administration strives to push through laws that require more than 2,000 pages to extend government control over the nation’s healthcare system or impose a high tax on the use of energy by everyone. The summer’s many town hall meetings were testimony to the fact that some 80% of America’s citizens oppose Obamacare and the tens of thousands who showed up in Washington, D.C. on September 12 should have been sufficient to kill the bill.

The Bill of Rights set forth some extraordinary and revolutionary limits on the federal government.
