220 years ago (tomorrow) the Bill of Rights became a part of the US Constitution. This document doesn't seem to count for much any more. We fought and died and killed for those rights. They must have seemed pretty important back then.

220 years ago (tomorrow) the Bill of Rights became a part of the US Constitution. This document doesn't seem to count for much any more. We fought and died and killed for those rights. They must have seemed pretty important back then.
Our government has been violating those rights for a long time. Every day on the local, state and national level our fellow citizens are imprisoned, tortured and killed. They even pay private companies (a lot of money) to do it.
Maybe you don't quite get it ?
Tonight, or tomorrow, a glorified security guard could just grab you and toss you in the back of a van. Some guy working at the mall today could grab your father or daughter tomorrow and they would just disappear. No warrant, no notice and they wouldn't have to notify anybody.
The Senate and the House have both voted to make this legal. The president said he would veto it but changed positions today. The final vote should happen next week (or sooner).
Are you really going to sit back and let this happen ?
