Hey kids!

Know anyone who supports the sacrifice of personal freedom for security from terrorism? You might want to invite them to sign this pledge and e-mail it to the White House. It simply states that they
...waive any rights of privacy in my person, property, association, thought and/or expression that I have, had or claim to have under the federal and state constitutions, statutory law or regulation of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, decisional law, common law and/or any other source of authority, real or imagined, to the extent the waiver of such rights is, in the sole judgment of any military, law enforcement or national security employee of the United States, deemed necessary to prosecute the war on terror.


As Benjamin Franklin used to say: They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

And as Bill Hicks used to say: Let's see how comitted you are to this fucking premise.
