The
ACLU has the focus on the true State of the Union.
The State of Our Union Cannot be Strong if the President Continues to Violate the Law
Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU
The ACLU ran this full page ad in the January 31 edition of the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times:
John Ashcroft once called the ACLU unpatriotic for questioning Bush's actions and accused those who wanted their rights returned of "aiding and abetting the enemy."
A great nation rules itself through laws, not people. We need independent judges making sure that domestic spying is actually targeting the right people. We know from history that giving the president a blank check, especially in the context of national security, is a recipe for abuse.
The ACLU is definitly the enemy of the Bush administration.
Because the Bush administration has shown its disdain for accountability and its critics, we have taken our case directly to the American people...The NSA scandal is merely the culmination of five years of disdain for the Constitution. These practices must end now.
Do you support the ACLU?
