"Big Brother" is watching each and every one of us.

Never thought it would happen in America, but ... it has.

Is looking more and more like we will be going radio silent and underground. May need to come up with a new form of this:

Surprise. Surprise. Government employees are more interested in making their jobs “easier” than in “protecting and serving” as their vehicles claim.

I think your absolutely right. Everything this regime is doing is going to send the public underground. It will be a black market black ops world.

The Government already captures & stores all of our emails, texts, phone calls & electronic purchases with plans to increase their capabilities --

The NSA Is Building the Country’s Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say)

Most conservatives gave Bush a free pass on this. Now, most liberals are doing the same.

The same place ours was during the time the foundations were poured for this with the Patriot Act and Department of Homeland Security. All wrapped up in the warm, soft diapers of credulous party loyalty and complacency.

The House has to approve this, correct? Can they stop it? Will they even try?

Who is CNET? Also I read through the whole article and didn't find what this bill is called. Such as Senate Bill SB1234 etc.

A person should be able to go read the actual bill.
