too close to the truth

Very clever! and very close to the truth for some folks. Thanks for posting the actual words of the 4th amendment. A little knowledge goes a long way.
  
well done!

Even my conservative Republican coworker gave it a big thumbs up!

Excellent job as usual, Jen.
  
Thanks all.

Is it okay to upload the video to my own site? I'll give you full credit, and might take the pressure off your server.
Re: Signed
By Absolutely Feb 1st 2006 at 10:10 am MST
Be our guest. We'd love to see the video spread around as much as possible. It's a critical message and far too many of our fellow citizens aren't getting it yet.
  
Great! Take it National!
By Casey Feb 1st 2006 at 12:50 pm MST
That was great! I especially liked the Matrix-like hat and shades NSA spy. You should take this national!
  
Congrats!

Don't know if you know, but you got a link in the Pass It On section on TomPaine.com! Good job!
  
interesting factoid
By Marc Feb 6th 2006 at 2:19 pm MST
Brilliant video! I didn't recall the catchy song by Rockwell (whoever he is/was), but I did a search on this chillingly up-to-date ditty. Turns out it was a hit way back in....1984.

From Orwell to Rockwell to our not-so-well country.

Makes me sick...
  
Great Job
By Fred Feb 7th 2006 at 5:39 pm MST
A funny video. More and more cameras are added to our streets and stores in the name of "security". I visited a small suburban police station last year and I noticed no less than 12 cameras following my every move from the front door just to the information desk.

Most people never realized that they could be tracked via their pager or cell phones. I always wonder (like the light in the refrigerator,,,does it always go off?) When I set my cell phone for "911 tracking only" does it really shut off the "other tracking"? Since cell phones send out a signal periodically to contact the closests cell site. I know this information is stored at the switch level, but to the best of my knowledge most carriers never retreive it.
  
Great job

Keep it up!!!!
