W. DWAIN ALFORD P.O. BOX 145 WINFIELD, AL 35594 TELEPHONE: 205.487.2570 March 20, 2008
Dear Senator Shelby, Thank you for your response with regard to my concerns of immunity for telecommunications firms. I understand your point, but I firmly disagree with your logic. There are laws in this country that protect my civil rights and my right to privacy. Mr. Bush and those that agree with him are showing me and many other Americans like me that he and you have a total disregard for the law of the land in this matter. If you want to wiretap terrorist suspects, then you need to do it according to our nation's laws; go to court and get a warrant. I don't like to think that my phone has been tapped and without my knowledge my calls have been monitored. In fact just the thought of it makes me extremely angry and even more distrustful of my government leaders than I already feel. The telecommunications firms should have told you to get a warrant and since they didn't they deserve whatever they get. I don't think that your assumption that they would be unlikely to help in the future is correct. I think that by being sued and losing they will tell the government to get a warrant or a subpoena if that is necessary to obtain the information the government seeks. That's what I would tell you if I were a CEO of a telecommunications firm that had been sued. A judge would be glad to issue the proper warrant(s) for the NSA to do their job on a case by case, individual by individual basis. I don't think that that is asking too much for our government to abide by it's own laws. If the government has suspects then they need to go after those suspects, not issue an illegal blanket wiretap on all Americans. That is outrageous and wrong, by law. Mr. Bush thinks that he is above the law. He has flagrantly violated the Constitution of this country and has flaunted his authority in the face of the American people and Congress has not shown the intestinal fortitude to rein the maniac in. Just by his actions of flying the Bin Ladens, who were living here on September 11, 2001, out of the country was an act of treason. What he did was to aid and abet the enemy, or have you forgotten that it was Saudi's that flew those planes that day? Are you also aware that in Saudi Arabia that their Quranic teachings say that the Americans are the Infidel and must be destroyed? And Mr. Bush just gave them several billions of dollars in aid this year. Again aiding and abetting the enemy. And there are many more acts of treason that he has committed. When will you and Congress act and prosecute this man for treason against the United States of America? I'm not the only one that feels this way. It looks like he will get away with his crimes against the people of this country and get a pension with Secret Service protection for life to boot, all paid for by American tax dollars. He'll walk away clean and laugh about how he almost brought down the American way of life, got away with violating the Constitution and had Congress cowering, not doing anything about it. Spineless, every one of you who are doing nothing to protect your constituents from a mad man. Spineless, each and every one of you who are towing party lines and allowing this man to continue to disregard the laws of the land and violate the Constitution of the United States. He disrespects every American, those who have served this country and causes every American serviceman and servicewoman who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan to have died in vain, with his law breaking actions. I am hoping for a better change in 2009. I am hoping for a Congress that will undo everything that Mr. Bush has done in his eight years in office that discredited and disgraced this country in the face of the world.
