Protect America Act of 2007
In my previous post “Boycott the Politicians”, I talked about refusing to donate any more money to the politicians until our Constitution was reinstated. Specifically, I focused on the “Protect America Act of 2007″ as an example of how our rights and freedoms are being violated.
Then, I became confused in reading the fact sheets (The Protect America Act 2007 and FISA Modernization) from “The White House“. I admit, I am not fluent in legalese. It all sounded to me that they were talking about spying on foreign targets that are “reasonably believed to be outside the U.S”.

About Me
My most treasured value is my freedom. It is one I have been willing to die for. Without freedom, my life is not my own. Why should I live a life not my own?
I served 6 years active duty in the U.S. Army. I served between two wars – Vietnam and Desert Storm.
I have spent most of my life seeking truth. I am still looking and suspect I always will be…
I have a vision of this blog being a place where I can explore the “Devil’s Advocate” position on various topics and share my opinions (and where I get them). My hope is to help myself and others to develop skill in critical thinking.
I am not a scholar. If you are looking for scholarly debates and dissertations, please look elsewhere. I am merely a middle-aged woman on a quest. If you are interested in following my thinking, welcome.
Sometimes I make mistakes. I even make dumb ones at times. So, if you catch me in one, please do point it out. That is how I learn. If you find yourself with an opinion different from mine, by all means, tell me about it and explain why you think the way you do. That way, we can all learn.
In the interest of making fewer mistakes, Logic and Fallacies – Constructing a Logical Argument is a great resource.
It may take me awhile to find my voice, but this is a journey, right?
