Tough Talking Interview with Naomi Wolf:

My America Project

I came across this email from the ACLU and it reminded me of Naomi Wolf's book, The End of America: Letter to a young patriot. In the book, Wolf compares the developing Nazism of 1930s Germany to the Present Day USA. She describes a 10 step blueprint for closing down democracy and shutting down open society. For more information see the publisher's website about the book: http://www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/endofamerica. Also see this YouTube video of a talk given by Wolf at UW Kane Hall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjALf12PAWc.

Here's the information from ACLU with a link to contact your Representative and Senators in Congress: https://secure.aclu.org/site/Advocacy?page=SplashPage&id=1009:

Tell Congress: Rein in DHS Travel Abuses

Planning a vacation? Thinking about traveling outside the country?

If you travel outside the United States, you can kiss your right to privacy, and perhaps your laptop, digital camera and cell phone, goodbye.

With no suspicion and no explanation, the U.S. government can seize your laptop, cell phone, or PDA as you enter the United States and download all your private information -- including your personal and business documents, emails, phone calls, and web history.
