My note to Senselessbrenner on data mining and his committee

(Sadly, he is my representative - from past communications to him, he will not be surprised by this.)

Dear Representative Sensenbrenner,

According to today's paper you haven't DECIDED whether to hold hearings on the NSA datamining of phone records?????

This is just Poindexter's old Total Information Awareness program that the administration said/lied was stopped.

Another lie, another whopper -- another disregard of the 4th amendment and YOUR committee --- and you haven't decided yet?

What does it take -- and if you do decide to hold hearings will they back off when another spurious claim of "national security" is posited by by this out of control bunch?

Get busy - I am a retired American History teacher and have gone from infuriated to terrified.
