SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE RIGHTS?

"Obama seems to be a nice man, and that is precisely the problem. It's better to have a sheep in wolf's clothing than a wolf in sheep's clothing. All of the activities against WikiLeaks by the United States have occurred under an Obama administration."
~ Julian Assange

Yes, that nice man is shredding the Constitution and going "forward" with all the worst anti-civil liberties measures of the Bush years.
Under legislation supported by the Obama administration, and now the law of the land, the U.S. government can arrest you in secret, lock you up, and throw away the key. Trial? Habeas corpus? The Bill of Rights? As they say in New York, fuggedaboutit! They can read your email, tap your phone, put you on a "no-fly" list, and disappear you for good. Like Zeus hurling thunderbolts from Olympus, the president can take out anyone anywhere in the world with a drone strike – American citizens not excepted.
Here at Antiwar.com, we've been subjected to FBI surveillance, and we're still trying to find out the extent of it. It'll take a long legal battle, but we've undertaken the fight to uphold the Constitution because we take our ideas – and our liberty – seriously.
Since the Clinton administration, Antiwar.com has been warning of the dangers of militarism and a growing authoritarianism – yes, even in the darkest days of 2001, when it wasn't popular. We survived with your help, and now we need your help once again.
Unlike most nonprofits, we have very low overhead, and no one gets rich working for us. We have the satisfaction of fighting the good fight, but we need your tax-deductible donation to continue that fight, and, yes, even win it, eventually – and we need it today. Please don't delay – because our liberties are slipping away faster than you might imagine.
