Craig, help me out here.

Isn't the point of your constitution to ensure your rights and liberties are not unduly infringed upon?

If so, isn't standing up for and defending your liberties as important as standing up and defending your constitutional rights? Actually kinda the same thing?

In fact, the liberties came before the constitution. The constitution's raison d'tre is to protect those liberties. So why allow so easily the Patriot Act while getting your collective shirts in a knot about background checks?

I see defence of liberty as paramount, the words written two centuries ago are just another tool in the bag to help you do that.

Allowing the Patriot Act to pass unchallenged should be viewed as a mistake to be corrected by right thinking Americans, those who believe in the value of the ideas and ideals put forth by the framers of your constitution.

The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
