8. The American public should have the right to know what information the search engine

Google supplies about American individuals to the NSA.

The East German STASI would have loved to have the tools the NSA has. Is America better than East Germany? Do we need a STASI?

Should we reign in our STASI?

This is something that should be decided by the American people based on full knowledge of the extent of our American STASI or NSA's activities in the US.

The Fourth Amendment is in the Constitution for a reason.

Our government plays all sorts of intellectual games to convince itself it needs to invade our personal privacy.

Free speech is meaningless if we cannot say what we want without government snoopers listening and looking in.

Get the NSA and all the other government agencies out of the business of America on the internet. Tell them to go snoop in other countries if they must, but not here.
