Investing in Liberty is money well spent
I see from a handful of articles at Wired that the money I spent on an ACLU membership last year is paying off. Good!
Seeing news like this assuages some of my concerns that anti-terrorist measures were about to demolish civil liberties in the United States. I applaud the efforts of Senators Wyden, Feingold, and Daschle in bringing these important issues to the Senate’s attention.
These articles also called my attention to another very worthwhile organization that I have been neglecting for too long (an oversight that I will soon rectify by joining), the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Last year, I contributed about $300 to various political organizations—the first time I have ever made such an investment in politics. If I keep seeing positive results like these, the ACLU, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and MoveOn.org will continue to enjoy my full support.
After all, $300 is a small price to pay for freedom from government tyranny.
