The erosion of privacy in our society would have frightened George Orwell. Other administrations may have sent the country down a slippery slope into an unfree oligarchy is no reason not to try to stop this slide. The buck stops with you, Mr. President.
We petition you to use you executive power on behalf of the country to preserve the most American liberty, the right to be left alone. Refuse to sign, for the people who believed in you.
The United States is, or was, a shining example to the world of what individual self-determination can make possible and we ask the president to veto any bill that would further damage it by allowing unreviewed eavesdropping on American citizens or otherwise making it possible to intimidate human beings from the free expression of their political opinion.
