Sometimes the mainstream media has it right. Mr. Bush, you are a fascist.

It’s funny that we are often told that terrorists have attacked us because they hate our freedoms. So the answer was to take away our freedoms. If this was truly the motive of the attacks on 911 we are doing a great job of complying with our attackers demands of ending our way of life by passing legislation that slowly robs us of our civil liberties. All these semantics aside, most of this legislation is completely unconstitutional and I will make it my personal crusade to call all of it to question. To take freedom in the name of protecting it is preposterous.

This video is from a lecture by former Libertarian candidate for president Michael Badnarik. You should ask yourself the question he asks in this video. EVERY American should. NO! I will not comply! PERIOD!

Meanwhile, take a look here at how my opponent Candice Miller votes on this issue:

I would comment on Candice Miller’s commitment to uphold our constitution.
Candice Miller voted in the following ways that are not in the spirit or the letter of the Constitution of the United States:

Voted in favor of S 1927
This amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 passed 227-183 on August 4. The bill gives U.S. spy agencies expanded power to eavesdrop on foreign suspects without a court order. The existing Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act contained a 30-year-old statute requiring a warrant to monitor calls intercepted in the United States, regardless of their origin. Civil liberties and privacy advocates argue the bill jeopardizes the Fourth Amendment privacy rights and allows for the warrantless monitoring of virtually any form of communication originating in the United States.

Voted in favor of S 3930: Military Commissions Act.
This Act deprives detainees of Habeas Corpus.
Habeas Corpus (Latin: [We command] that you have the body)
[1] is the name of a legal action, or writ, through which a person can seek relief from unlawful detention of himself or another person. The writ of habeas corpus has historically been an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action.

Voted in favor of H R 5825: Electronic Surveillance Modernization Act.
This bill would endorse President Bush’s ongoing warrantless electronic surveillance of suspected terrorist communications and allow, but not require, the administration to submit the program to a secret national security court for review.
According to The Washington Post, the president has always argued he has the power as Commander in Chief, under the Constitution, to run the warrantless wiretapping program but sought to work out a deal whereby Congress would vote to endorse it. Some members of Congress and civil libertarians argue that the president’s actions with regard to warrantless wiretapping have been illegal and unconstitutional — and argue Congress should not to vote to support him.

Voted against an amendment to H R 2862:
This vote temporarily stopped federal law enforcement officials from being able to easily seize library and bookstore records. The authority to get the records without a traditional warrant was one of the provisions of the original 2001 Patriot Act. President Bush opposed any curtailing of federal law enforcement authority and threatened to veto any bill with this amendment attached.
The amendment said that, going forward, authorities would have to get a search warrant from a judge or grand jury instead of relying on approval from the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act Court, which has a lower threshold of proof. The Justice Department argued it had used this authority wisely and very selectively since it was extended in the original Patriot Act law. A coalition of liberals, conservatives and libertarians (including many Republicans), rejected the Bush administration’s arguments. They asserted the authority was a threat to the privacy of law-abiding citizens and voted to revoke it.

A note on the Iraq war and the war in Afghanistan:
Neither the Iraq war or the war in Afghanistan follow the Constitution’s guidelines for war. Candice Miller has voted against any measure that would allow for a timetable for withdrawal. And has consistently voted to continue the war, despite it’s unconstitutionality.
