This 40 minute video is VERY important !

It contains a vivid picture of one our senators explaining the current state of spying by our own government on it's own people.

It's a revelation of how corrupt our government has become. Even this senator believes the NSA crossed the line by spying but not until congress itself became a target of the NSA.

Rand Paul as a senator has begun a law suit against the NSA. He hopes his case gets to the Supreme Court.

I ask, why doesn't our congress control the NSA directly? Why don't the guilty parties in the NSA who lie to congress go to prison for purgery? Certainly James Crapper head of the NSA deserves to go to  jail for lying to congress.

Why isn't congress writing law to protect We the People from an out of control spy community?

Are the SPY REVELATIONS of Edward Snowden going to be ignored by congress? Is congress more interested in who gets investigated and prosecuted or who gets most political advantage?

Our form of government has long ago succumbed to the power of lobbyists and special interests.

Now our basic freedoms are being taken away in the name of security.

Is Edward Snowden a hero or criminal? Have we somehow already exchanged our Liberty for security?

Our Bill of Rights are becoming the grocery list for governmental agencies looking for ultimate control of millions of free citizens.

Our government is no longer:

 _                                                          Of the people

   _                                                        By the People

     _                                                      For the People.
