Subject: Finally, the TRUTH. Thank You Jack!!

Thank you for saying what should be obvious to all. Bush has nuked our
Constitution with his claims to unrestrained power. Spying on us without a
warrant is intolerable, but it is his claim to unitary authoritarian power to
commit that crime (and others) with impunity that is truly devastating to our
system of government.

Given the gravity and urgency of the threat to our constitutional democracy,
members of Congress have a sworn duty to take immediate action to defend the
nation. To date, only a handful have responded to Sen. Feingold's or Rep. Conyers'
call to action.

Fear of political consequences cannot excuse those who are sitting on their
hands. We expect members of our armed services to risk life and limb to support
and defend. Why should we expect less from members of Congress?

Hearing a public figure tell the truth about the criminal surveillance program
should not be a momentous event. Tragically, these days, it is.

Dare I hope you do not remain a lone voice at CNN?

Cheers,
