My Letter To President Obama
by Bryan on Apr.05, 2011, under Civil Rights
President Obama,
I know that you have heard the aguments for Patriot Act reform time-and-time
again. So there is little point in my going on at length other than to add my
voice to the chorus, in the hope that you might recognize that The People are
being misrepresented on this front.
Stop this nonsense of spying on American citzens under the guise of terrorism
prevention. Our right to privacy is being trampled as if the Bill of Rights had
never been written. The blance of power between The Government and The People
is leaning too heavily in the Government’s favor.
We have seen the proof of government agencies exploiting their powers, and yet,
the government moves to grant them more power? You and I know well that very
few agents of the government are ethically pure. How long will it be before the
increased powers and reduced transparency are exploited for financial gain?
Sincerely,
Bryan C. Geraghty
My hope for this site is that my thoughts and experiences find their way to those who can make use of them. I've been a professional software developer and amateur photographer since 1999 and an amateur musician for nearly 20 years. I have done a fair-share of paying gigs and teaching, but nowadays, I spend most of my music-related time in my home studio. Most of my writing will fall into the main site categories, but I also enjoy reading, running, and auto-racing, so look out for posts on each of those from time to time. Enjoy.
