Reply #109: Obama [View All]

Dear Barack ,

I am contacting you today because I have been reading reports that the President has authorized surveillance of American Citizens without the oversight of the Courts. I believe that this is an affront to the American Public and the Constitution. If we can no longer rely upon the protections granted by that document the terrorists have won. I see no reason why the president could not have gone through the proper channels to secure this intelligence. I find this to be another example of the lack of respect this administration has shown for those they serve and the principles that make this country great. The aspect that I find most disturbing is that he does this under the guise of National Security. I find fault with this logic because then anything he does may fall under the same category. In essence the administration could completely suspend the bill of rights under this faulty logic.
In conclusion I hope that you will stand up for our rights and let our leaders know that this type of activity will not be condoned by the Senate. I have read many opinions from my fellow citizens that seem to think that this is an impeachable offense. I would say at this point at least censure is called for. Please raise the call for investigations and support any action deemed necessary upon conclusion of such. If I can help you in anyway please let me know

Thank you for considering my opinions
