And who is winning? The Patriot Act by a wide margin. As everyone by now knows, our National Security Agency (NSA) has been taking part in spying activities without warrants and which tend to cast a much larger net than the Bush administration originally acknowledged. The Bush administration refers to the program as "The Terrorist Surveillance Program" but the problem, legally at least, is that millions of Americans with no known or suspected ties to terrorism have been caught up in the governments vast data mining operation by using private companies like AT&T, Bell South etc. to listen in on private phone calls en masse.  Read more >

About Me: 
I currently live and work in Boston, MA. In my professional life, I have worn several different hats- I have worked in various fields of nursing, including HIV/infectious disease, general medical and psychiatric nursing in both acute and sub-acute settings and I am an adjunct professor of psychiatric nursing here in Boston. After several years in nursing I went back to school to get my law degree and have practiced in the area of health law, disability and insurance law. Currently, I am trying to meld both my background in nursing and law and move forward from there. I can be found blogging over at Cafe Politico, a progressive political blog I started a little less than a year ago. Feel free to stop by and say "hi."
