Dear Stephanie, Tim, and John:

What about the Constitution? How about protecting me and my privacy? I am gravely disappointed in lack of representation I have received from you, my legislative leaders. Is it because I am a working mother who can't afford a $6,000 contribution?

Although I have nothing to hide (as opposed to this administration and various corporate beneficiaries) I think my privacy is more important than theirs as it does not mask illegal behavior but can be very personal and controversial at times. The telecommunications corporations including AT&T and Sprint should have known better than blindly cooperate with "federal authorities" without proper legal approval. Ignorance is not a defense. And unfettered access to all digital activity without just supervision should never be considered acceptable!

As a health care professional, if I were to access your personal records without an absolute need to, I could be duly fired and possibly prosecuted. Why is it that corporate entities (and this administration who has instigated this behavior) are allowed to conduct themselves other than what is required of me? We all are equal under the law, are we not?



This is not even close to being a "liberal" (in the 'bad' sense) cause, it is about (the loss of) my Rights! But maybe there's a subtle message here; maybe someone in the 'house' has something on you that you wouldn't want known, or maybe you're just easily bought.
