America's Constitution is in Grave Danger I endorse the words of Bob Barr, when he said, "The President has dared the American people to do something about it. For the sake of the Constitution, I hope they will." 1. Appoint Special Counsel 2. Enact new and better whistleblower protections, esp. for those in intelligence community: 3. Comprehensive, not superficial or phoney Hearings into criminal behavior of President and his Administration. 4. Do not extend PATRIOT Act! 5. Telecommunications companies that are allowing government access should cease and desist immediately, on pain of heavy penalty. Freedom of communication is an essential prerequisite for the restoration of the health of our democracy.6. Protect the internet from media conglomerate take-over or government encroachment. I mentioned that along with cause for concern, there is reason for hope. As I stand here today, I am filled with optimism that America is on the eve of a golden age in which the vitality of our democracy will be re-established and will flourish more vibrantly than ever. Indeed I can feel it in this hall. As Dr. King once said, "Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." -------
