MMD Newswire — The Constitutional Rights Association, Inc. a new nonprofit corporation, announced today that it has been formed for the purpose of engaging the public in a campaign to end mass surveillance of the American public by the NSA and other governmental agencies. These mass surveillance campaigns, which are being coordinated by the NSA, were partly revealed and disclosed by former NSA systems administrator, Edward Snowden.
The mass surveillance and long term storage of surveillance data is known to include the cell phone Meta data for every phone call made or received by US citizens. This information about our phone calls is being uploaded on a daily basis from the phone companies to the NSA. While these programs are classified, reports in the media indicate that the NSA may also be collecting and storing, without a search warrant, all emails, twitter, facsimile and other electronic communications of all Americans,.
These domestic spying programs are conducted without a warrant or probable cause and therefore violate the 4th Amendment to the Constitution. The NSA domestic spying programs are unconstitutional.
These programs have the potential to destroy our nation by changing the way we view ourselves and our relationship to government.
The Association intends to file for 501(c)4 status and plans to engage and reproach political candidates who support unconstitutional domestic spying programs, by informing the public of their positions and the potential consequences for our democracy.
Our Association was formed because there is an absence of leadership on this critical issue. This absence is the result of leading figures in both major political parties having been complicit in the creation and continuation of these secret mass surveillance programs. As a result, the normal checks and balances which have traditionally kept this kind of government abuse at bay, are breaking down.
The Constitutional Rights Association is preparing to launch a public awareness campaign to inform the public of the danger posed by the NSA’s violation of the US Constitution.
Two facts will slowly sink in: 1) We are all under continuous surveillance by our government and, 2) the surveillance is being recorded and stored so that it can be accessed later by keyword. These two facts will change our view of ourselves. This will no longer be the land of the free and the home of the brave. We will become a land where we are afraid of our own shadows.
These mass surveillance and domestic spying programs are like a leak in the face of a very large dam; If not quickly repaired, it will destroy the dam.
Already some people are becoming afraid to engage in political speech because the government is watching and keeping records. That view may be a bit paranoid now. .. But in the next couple of years as it really sinks in that everything that we do and say may be kept on electronic file by the NSA: every phone call, email, text message, photograph, this now irrational fear will spread. We will slowly lose our right of free speech to fear. This will happen even if the government never uses the data.
What if, in a few of those keyword indexed phone calls or emails, you had expressed some significant disagreement with a government official? Think for a moment what the leader of North Korea could do with this technology. Through keyword indexing he could have his NSA round up everyone who had ever said anything bad about him.
People in third world countries try to stay out of politics, and they try to never express an opinion that could be “misinterpreted.” Are we going to live that way too in a few years?
Let us use the strength of our voices now while we can. Let us speak up now while the danger is at its weakest.
This press release and the formation of the Constitutional Rights Association is a call to action. We are calling on the American people to learn more about this critical issue to use our voices to say the most important word that a free people can say to their government: “No!”
The Constitutional Rights Association, Inc. www.ConstitutionalRightsAssociation.org is a nonprofit corporation working to protect the many rights and privileges guaranteed by the US Constitution to the American people and to publicize the positions of elected officials concerning these issues. We are looking for volunteers in your state.
Nice idea CRA, we do need privacy. An example of why NSA is collecting and storing, without a search warrant, all emails, twitter, facsimile and other electronic communications is to track bozos below,.
Islamic author, Imran N. Hosein; ". Russia is “Magog.” that “Gog” is the “Anglo-American alliance.” He believes the war is approaching, and bemoans the fact that not enough Muslim leaders are focused on this issue. “I began my study of Gog and Magog more than fifteen years ago in the early 90’s while resident in New York,” writes Hosein. “My subsequent public lectures on the subject never failed to provoke keen interest from my Muslim audiences in several parts of the world. The evidence and arguments presented in the chapter on Gog and Magog in my book, ‘Jerusalem in the Qur’an’, succeeded in convincing many who read the book that we now live in a world dominated by Gog and Magog. They were easily convinced that the ‘town’ mentioned in the Qur’ān in Sūrah al-Anbiyāh’ (21:95-6) was Jerusalem and hence, that Gog and Magog (and Dajjāl) explained the ominously unfolding ‘war on Islam’ with slaughter and destruction of Muslims in so many parts of the world.
I hope you will be successful! You're right: this spying things changes the way citizens relate to the government and makes us less likely to support or believe anything it says and that's a huge step towards a state of chaos and in the end, who knows….maybe a revolution.
