American the beautiful, America the courageous has recently devolved into "America the paranoid" . . .
From the War on Terror we now have secret NSA phone taps on ordinary citizens (citizens who likely have nothing to do with Al Qaida and may not even be Islamic!).
From the War on Terror we can now seize property (recent Executive Branch decree--thank you Chad Lupkes, Activist from Seattle, WA for alerting me to this paranoia!).
From the War on Terror we can now hold enemy combatants indefinitely, and through the Military Commissions Act of 2006, hold these people indefinitely on circumstantial evidence only and even hold them if a jury acquits them.
In 2007 I stood up and asked Senate Judiciary Chair (Democrat) Patrick Leahy about what to do about this break down in American jurisprudence.
Patrick Leahy, similar to the good Senator from Arizona John McCain was absolutely delighted that a Republican (especially one as ultra-conservative as myself, for example on the Pro-Life issue) could join forces to address this problem afflicting our Nation.
Contrary to the police state that we were in danger of becoming, however, through good men like Senator Leahy and Senator McCain, we are now on the path of correcting these abuses.
Will you now join myself, join Chad Lupkes and join many other progressives and conservatives in our attempt to reclaim the American Republic for true-blue Americans.
Whether Hispanic or English, whether Black or Asian, whether Democrat or Republican, we must stand together and reclaim America for Americans.
Blessings in Jesus for a united America,
Rob J King
