How Obama Became a Civil Libertarian's Nightmare: He Expanded Many Of Bush's Worst Policies

33. I agree we have a better chance of convincing President Obama that is Constitution is worth

defending, but only if the American people make their voices heard. Elected officials as we know now, are not surrounded by the American people, they are surrounded by warmongers, Wall Street lobbyists and other special interests.

The only leverage the American people have against all those other, wealthy, powerful voices is their own voices and votes.

To remain silent, which appears to be what some people are demanding, about issues as important as these, would be to abandon the duties of citizens and condone these policies by refusing to stand up against them.

People were silent during the Bush Administration, and look what happened. Afraid to appear anti-American they participated in doing what no terrorist could have done, destroy so many of our civil liberties.

We are not Republicans, we do not remain silent simply because it's our party in power. That is what we accused them of doing.
