Let's face it
Privacy is a thing of the past.

We are letting our privacy go bit by bit. A little bit at a time doesn't seem bad. But eventually, the little bits total up.

If we don't stop the encroachment now, it will soon be too late. Your government will know everything you do. EVERYTHING.

And the reality is none of our surrendered privacies has provided any more homeland protection or furthered the fight against crime. Criminals know how to hide their activities. Thus only the inocent lose in this destruction of privacy.

Our fathers left countries that were practicing what ours is today. They came to America to get away from the criminal activities of there government. Today we are facing that same type of government in our own country.

Thomas Jefferson warned us that our Federal government would be our own worst enemy. This is coming to fruition. And fast!
