BALTIMORE – Surveillance of anti-death penalty protesters and other activists by the Maryland State Police was broader and went on longer than previously disclosed, according to files that were turned over by police to dozens of activists who were improperly labeled as terrorists.
The files revealed that those labeled as terrorists included environmentalists, peace activists, animal rights activists and some people who have never participated in protests in Maryland.
... you might also want to remind him or her of the following:
Amendment IThere is a name for a Government that asserts the right to spy on its own citizens:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Police State... and it is this REPUBLICAN Administration under W that has delighted in asserting this right!
If folks want to scare you with the spectre of a police state, point out that their fear is legitimate... but it ain't Obama, it's W they oughta fear!!!
Stop the madness.
