Web letter to Rep. Shuler

I live in western NC, and I do think giving the current administration the power to wiretap without a warrant is a very bad idea. And it will be a bad idea for the next administration also! The Conyers-Reyes bill is needed to ensure that any spying on US citizens is done under a legal warrant. This is true for spying on political opponants also.

It is the job of the legislative branch to provide oversight of the executive branch of our government, and it is way past time to start doing that. Do not listen to them if they try to scare you with an upcoming terrorist threat - we can only lose our country if we live in fear. And I do hope that they have not blackmailed you via their warrantless spying.
