There will always be another election. When that comes, keep your state senator in mind. Did your senator vote to protect your privacy? Do they uphold our liberties?
Today in the senate, the FISA debate was wrapped up and the vote was held. Hillary Clinton did not show up to vote. California Senator Dianne Feinstein voted to allow telecom immunity and spying on Americans. Too bad, Feinstein isn’t up for re-election until 2012. However, we have good memories around here.
