California Legislators Introduce Bill To Banish NSA
By Steven Nelson


A bipartisan team of California state senators introduced legislation Monday that would prohibit the state and its localities from providing "material support" to the National Security Agency.

If the bill becomes law, it would deny NSA facilities access to water and electricity from public utilities, impose sanctions on companies trying to fill the resulting void and outlaw NSA research partnerships with state universities.

Companies with state contracts also would be banned from working with the NSA.

"I agree with the NSA that the world is a dangerous place," state Sen. Ted Lieu, the bill's Democratic co-author, said in a statement. "That is why our founders enacted the Bill of Rights. They understood the grave dangers of an out-of-control federal government."

Lieu said the NSA's surveillance programs pose "a clear and present danger to our liberties."

"The last time the federal government massively violated the U.S. Constitution," he said, "over 100,000 innocent Americans were rounded up and interned."

State Sen. Joel Anderson, a Republican, is Lieu's co-author. The California state senate has 40 members.

"I support this bill because I support the Constitution, our Fourth Amendment rights and our freedoms to live in the United States of America," Anderson said.

Doing something right in CA?

When it comes to Civil Rights, there are some leftists in California that try to actually support those rights, instead of just paying lip service and then gleefully violating them in smokey back rooms. Feinstein, for example, just lies to the people, and in reality is no different from Dick Cheney. Zoe Lofgren, on the other hand, is one of the Democrats who has actually stood up for the Bill of Rights. Funny thing is, CA Dems wouldn't be caught dead seeming as though they had allied with GOP liberty supporters, so they kind of do their own thing.
