I'm pretty upset that our own government is violating several of our constitutional rights by spying on it's own citizens, recording the data about every phone call we make, and sucking up every email and web browsing action that we do that they can.  The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has lots of info on it, and is a major player in trying to hold the govt accountable.  They have an electronic petition that half a million people have signed to try to put a stop to this unconstitutional spying.  I thought you'd like to know about it.
