Not bad for a first post. (none / 0)
I DO have issues, though.

It wasn't 3000 Americans. The number was below that and it was an international tragedy as there were many people from different countries who died that day. Mostly Americans, but let us not diminish the loss of others.

"the introduction of new copy right laws that allow the government to search your computer to find illegal material. The new treaty that Obama is signing is “Classified for national security”. "

Interesting. Could you go into a little more detail on which new copyright laws these are and how they are being introduced? Executive order or Congress?

And, what treaty? With who? Regarding what? He cannot just sign treaties - they have to be ratified by Congress. Please give me more info, I haven't heard anything about this.

I'm not asking for a dissertation, just a few links...

Ah, I thought it was two different things (none / 0)

I do remember it from a year or so ago, didn't realize that Obama was keeping it going. I thought it had died from neglect. Thanks for the links.

You're 100% right, 0% wrong. This sucks horribly and the fact that Obama's administration is going along with it is reprehensible and yet another betrayal of the people who supported and voted for him.
