I am hoping the pen is mightier than the sword. As most of you know, I have a strong belief that the only way that our country will get back on track is a revolution. I see evidence nearly every day that the world’s beacon of hope for a truly democratic rule is becoming more of a bacon of hope. Our politicians serve more fat encrusted pork than they serve their people. I want democratic principles to rule our land and not the free-market.The capitalists are winning; democracy is taking a back seat to the dollar.

To that end, I believe that Senator Obama’s support for the FISA bill is a travesty that is designed to alleviate the markets of yet another industry (telco in this case) being put against the ropes. Our countries political and financial leaders have truly screwed we, the people. The FISA bill does nothing but erode our constitutional rights and provide immunity to the telco industry for their collusion with the Bush Administration.

I am hoping the power of words can help correct gratuitous attack of our constitutional rights. Here is what I wrote to the Obama Campaign.

Dear Representative of Presumptive Democratic Party Presidential Nominee Barack Obama,

I am sorely disappointed in Senator Obama’s support for the FISA bill. I am worried that the Republican led erosion of our basic civil liberties is being embraced by the best hope of a our country continuing to be a rational democracy. Our right to privacy is of utmost importance in this time of war, recession, and internal attacks on our constitutional rights.

I implore Senator Obama to stand for liberty and justice for all - even in times of crisis or electoral pandering - and not to buy into GWB’s delusion effort of ridding the world of “evil-doers.”

I am truly saddened by Obama supporting FISA. I must now go cry a tear into my red, white, and blue beer and support Nader - the only champion of the people.
