Maritzia’s Thoughts

I don’t usually get too political on this blog, but today I am.

The Senate has passed the bill providing an extension to the warrantless wiretapping and providing immunity to the telecommunications companies that provided information to the government illegally!

Write to your Congressman and make clear that you do not want the House passing the same bill. Then write to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and make clear the same things.

I made clear in my statements that I was totally against compromising the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. Actually, I was quite eloquent. Too bad I can’t remember now what I wrote then *laughs*.

Anyway, get your pens out, boys and girls (or your keyboards as the case may be). This is democracy in action. Stand up for your rights and freedoms!

I’m already slacking on my resolution to post here more, but I have a good excuse. I’ve been down with the flu all week, and let me tell you, it’s a nasty strain this week. That’s why I haven’t posted this little gem for you yet.

Obama’s Iowa Victory Speech

I’m so thrilled with the Senator’s victory in Iowa. It’s beyond even what I’d been hoping for. This will really throw momentum into the campaign! Enjoy the speech. The man is a great orator.
