Title: Bush presses anew for surveillance law
Date: 2/29/08

Summary: Our oh so wonderful president strikes again. He's trying to pass a bill that will make it easier for the government to wiretap. On top of that, he threatened to veto any law that does not include giving the telecommunications companies legal immunity.
Reaction: I couldn't help but think of 1984 when I read this article. I mean, not to the extent of when I first got word of the Patriot Act, but I mean now the guy is actually threatening to veto any law that doesn't give him absolute power. It's just so unecessary. What are the odds of finding a real threat in all of those innocent conversations held between innocent people who just want a little privacy. I will not have the civil liberties I'm guaranteed taken away because of our power hungry, redneck president.
