| Hello all, | | | | that Mr. Loper had denied his right to |
| | | | consulate, but could not produce a signed |
| My name is Jason Bradshaw, and I am writing | | | | document7â . The Canadian Government |
| you today to try to shed some light on the | | | | was caught in a lie. Finally our government |
| darksituation that we are facing as a | | | | had enough evidence to defend Mr. Loper, but |
| society. First, I would like to make this | | | | the best they could tell him was to go back |
| clear I am not an anarchist. | | | | to Canada and fight the Canadian Government |
| | | | on their turf.8â Not a smart idea in |
| I believe in order for a society to function | | | | any since of the word. Could this be our |
| properly there must be laws. However, I do | | | | government protecting their plan for the |
| not believe the government does everything | | | | North American Union? Who would vote to |
| for the right reasons. I would like everyone | | | | become a permanent room mate with a |
| to take one second and think of where our | | | | government if all the cover ups are exposed? |
| government exercises their powers today as | | | | |
| opposed to a decade ago. | | | | Coming through the education system, |
| | | | everything I was told about the UN lead me to |
| First, lets take a look at the USA Patriot | | | | believe it is a good thing. They are an |
| act of 2001. This Bill was signed into law on | | | | organization that believes in international |
| October 26, 2001, just a mere month and a | | | | peace and security. What I was not taught was |
| half after September 11, 2001.1â The | | | | the UN charter goes completely against our |
| purpose of the law was to aid the US law | | | | constitution. If you read the UN charter you |
| enforcement agencies in fighting terrorism. | | | | will find our constitution and the UN charter |
| The government procured our approval to tap | | | | cannot coexist. The United Nations is |
| telephone and, e-mail conversations as well | | | | comprised of two decision making organs, the |
| as go through our private documents such as | | | | Security Council, General Assembly, and other |
| financial and medical records by telling us | | | | organs that work as its tools.9â The |
| it was for our own good. We were assured this | | | | group of members called the Security Council |
| would only be exorcised on terrorists or | | | | makes the final decisions in the |
| potential terrorist, but if you look at how | | | | organization. The Security Council consists |
| the government defines a terrorist2â , | | | | of 15 PERMANENT members and ten members |
| you will also see a vagueness in the term | | | | elected by the General Assembly. It doesn't |
| potential terrorist. You can see how easy it | | | | take much of an imagination to see how |
| would be for the government to invade the | | | | unconstitutional this is, or the explosive |
| privacy of people who are exercising their | | | | power this type of leadership contains. |
| God given right to free speech, or speak | | | | |
| against the government. If we allow this type | | | | Yet our government leads us to the belief |
| of invasion of an American's privacy, who is | | | | this is all for our own good, but who is the |
| to say we will not give up other rights when | | | | government to tell us what is for our own |
| the government claims its for our safety. Our | | | | good. It is time for people to realize the |
| government should be of the people, for the | | | | problems are not getting any better. Our |
| people, by the people. So why are we letting | | | | liberties are being taken away, and the |
| our politicians play out their personal | | | | government is selling us on this by telling |
| agendas? | | | | us its for our safety. The USA Patriot act is |
| | | | the worst attack on our freedom, and we let |
| I cannot think of a better example of a | | | | it happen. Our for fathers wrote in the |
| personal agenda then the 2004 Republican | | | | Declaration of Independence, "whenever any |
| National Convention. Not only was the 2004 | | | | Form of Government becomes destructive of |
| RNC an untactful attempt to raise George | | | | these ends, it is the Right of the People to |
| Bush's ratings, but it is believed to be a | | | | alter or to abolish it, and to institute new |
| showing of the Governments police-state dream | | | | Government, laying its foundation on such |
| world. New York employed more then 10,000 | | | | principles and organizing its powers in such |
| police officers in full riot gear armed with | | | | form, as to them shall seem most likely to |
| submachine guns and rifles for security | | | | effect their Safety and Happiness." So how |
| reasons3â . The Government unlawfully | | | | many rights must we have taken away from us |
