Tuesday, August 7, 2007 - Tearing what's left of my
hair about the Protect America Act - vomit, scream,
retch, bang head on wall.
Distraught DC email to Senator Dianne Feinstein about
her voting for this despicable bill.
Your vote for the "Protect America" bill is just terrible. I will never
forgive you politically speaking though personally I believe in
forgiveness. You have done many other things I don't like but this is the
worst. You just voted to give GWBush more dictatorial power with oversight
by only Gonzales and one other person [the Director of National
Intelligence and the Attorney General] and they're both under him. No
Congressional or judicial oversight. Please change and protect the
Constitution and our freedoms and don't trample on them for this phony
idea of protection. I write because it's just about impossible to get
through to you on the phone - your offices are either closed or the lines
are busy. Not so with Barbara Boxer who I'm proud to have as a Senator.
You're helping to lay the groundwork for a fascist dictatorship in
America. Shame on you. - DC
