My letter to Senator Murkowski

Dear Senator Murkowski,

Thank you so much for your courageous stand against renewal of the USA P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act in its present form. I know you must have taken a lot of heat from your fellow Republicans for standing with the Democrats, but it was the right thing to do, particularly in light of the recent revelations of the Bush administration's warrantless and illegal surveillance of US citizens for the past five years. I believe Congress needs to stay particularly vigilant at this time in our history when it appears that our freedoms may be more threatened by forces within our own government than by foreign influences. Please keep up the good work and thank you again for voting your conscience rather than the party line.

Sincerely, Blue_in_AK
