70. Sent to Sens. Levin and Stabenow as well as Rep. Upton
Dear <legislator>

I am saddened that I should have to write this letter. The recent announcement by President Bush, that he directed the NSA to spy on U.S. citizens without judicial review or warrant, clearly upsets me. The declared War on Terror is insufficient reason for any Executive to assume any such power to spy on U.S. citizens without warrant. I beleive it is the duty of the President to uphold and protect our Constitution.
I believe deliberate corrective action needs to be taken to end both, the usurption of power by President Bush as well as the erosion of our civil liberties. These corrective actions should count impeachment as one of the possibilities for action. I suspect that you will receive more learned responses to the President's declared actions, but none more disappointed by the course this would set for the United States of America. Thank you for giving this your attention.

Hopefully,
My name here


I will try to get a handwritten version mailed out to Rep. Upton's local office later today.

Oh, yeah K & R
