Zur Zustimmung der Demokraten zum "NSA-darf-alles" Gesetz hat die amerikanische Bürgerrechtsorganisation ACLU eine Anzeige in den Zeitungen der Heimatstädte der Demokratin Nancy Pelosi, Sprecherin des Repräsentantenhauses und Harry Reid, Führer der demokratischen Mehrheit im Senat des US-Kongresses, geschaltet, was natürlich auch eine Methode ist, Protest auszudrücken und Druck auf Politiker auszuüben:
Der Direktor der ACLU, Anthony D. Romero, dazu:
Ever since a new Congress got elected last November, we've been waiting for it to end the violations of the Constitution and lawless behavior of the Bush administration.
Well, Members of Congress acted. And instead of restoring our freedoms, they actually handed the Bush administration vast new powers to invade our privacy with no meaningful oversight from the courts or Congress.
Why did Congress cower to George Bush? Fear -- not of terrorists -- but of being labeled "soft on terrorism." It's time to show House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that Americans want them to protect our Constitution.
When our leaders behave like sheep, their constituents need to know it.
