Cannon defended
I also tried on occasion to talk to someone in both of our U. S. Senator's offices but was never able to get anyone on the phone. Only an answering machine.
That's only because Senators Hatch and Bennett have been busy selling out the American people and the Republic to "global" interests! Perhaps the People are finally starting to wake up due to the fact that Chris Cannon has been voted out of office!
Thanks in part to Senators Hatch and Bennett, there is now no 4th Amendment. FISA 'compromise' completes the transformation of these united States into a full police state. With the stroke of George W. Bush's pen, the US is now a police state by definition.

H.R. 6304: FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (Vote On Passage)

By convenient design, the FISA revision derails pending lawsuits filed against the Bush administration's corporate spying partners (AT&T, Sprint Nextel, and Verizon), silences (the largely empty-to-begin-with) congressional investigations into the Bush administration's illegal domestic spying program.
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama and the Democrats have now moved to
silence all discussion about the issue.
Between the false flag mass murder of 9/11 and the creation of the "war on terrorism," the USAPATRIOT Act and this new FISA revision, the Bush-Cheney administration and its enthusiastically complicit congressional partners have achieved total victory - world war, open criminality, and the end of law itself.
The
pro-surveillance Democrats, led by Senator Jay Rockefeller and Obama are repeating asinine lies, and groundless excuses.
The
expose by AT&T whistleblower Mark Klein includes materials from the key court cases and exposes the fact that the NSA began breaking into local telephone circuits in 2001. As pointed out by
Robert Parry, the current program may have been in place before 2001.
In other words, the spying program never had anything to do with international "terrorists," and everything to do with a larger police state agenda, including the power to identify, designate and destroy individuals whose opinions run counter to those of whichever Big Brother is "in charge." This is a long-planned program that 9/11 allowed to push to full fruition.
If 9/11, the USAPATRIOT Act, and the relentless destruction of law since 2000 have not already made it abundantly clear, a
"Homeland Security" police state within US borders, courtesy of the spy bill, is now complete. Not even the trappings of a democracy remain.
