Congress Has the Chance to Do the Right Thing on Domestic Spying

In a revealing article in the current issue of Wired magazine, Edward Snowden, patriotic whistle blower, is interviewed and photographed in his secret Moscow domicile.  This article contains at least two scoops, and is chock-full of information about Snowden's life, especially the patriotic phase in which he decides to combat governmental breaches of the Fourth Amendment.

Congress has the power to get the government's spying monster under control through a new bill:  the USA FREEDOM Act.  Yet at the same time Congress is faced with a different bill which the Electronic Frontier Foundation calls "privacy-invasive."   For more, see the link below.  It is long-past time for Congress to act to remove the threat of limitless and unlawful spying on innocent American citizens by rogue agencies of the government.  We can keep Americans safe while protecting their Constitutional rights.
