Doesn't conflict with freedom of speech? as well as the right to privacy? since the act basically allows them to monitor everything about you, your phone calls, your emails, your bank accounts everything... I don't think this act will pass but if it does thats messed up... Sigh whats next Martial Law? I can't believe I went into the military and defended my country for this kind of crap...

Well, hopefully we will have a new president soon, unless this presidency goes so far as to do away with democracy in its entirety. And if we are to get a new leader, I hope it will be someone better than we have now, and they will end our "do nothing" congress and bring back some sense of intelligence in this fair land......

Otherwise, yeah, I'm either movin to Canada or Alaska (its not really connected to the rest of the states....) and if I do I promise I'll build a giant private racetrack and hold semi annual mx-3 meets and we can all race around on the track during the 1-2 month period of non-snow/ice :wink:

Hadn't heard about this before so I read the bill -it's very short. No real fear here (yet) cuz it appears to simply authorize a commission to generate 2 interim 6 mos. reports and a final report of findings/recommendations within 18 mos, after which, the commission must disband within 30 days. Methinks it is worth watching closely @whatever this special commission comes up with, then decide if real fear is warranted based on its report and any followup legislation. For now at least, watch and wait to see what else Congress and the commission defines in the report. At least the shrubber's reign will be a pathetic memory 18 mos. out and sanity of a sort can maybe prevail. Or... it could morph into a classic true 1984 prediction ala George Orwell. :shrug: I did drop an email of concern to my congressional reps, hopefully protected somewhat by the proxy server I used to send it. ya right, no real fear here!
