Do what I did a few years back. Join the ACLU: http://www.aclu.org
(a ColdFusion site, by the way). It doesn't matter whether you're conservative, liberal, or all over the political map. The bottom line is that they are the *only* resource with any power that will come to your aid when you are on the side of the Constitution and the big boys are stepping all over it (and you, too). They've had their hands full since 9/11 trying to prevent abuses in the name of "feel-good" yet illegal (and entirely ineffective) legislation being passed, and they need our help to try to fight this legislation that makes us vulnerable to attacks from our own government. I highly encourage all of you to join today, right now.
