PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM

I've been deeply concerned these past few years with the loss of our 
freedoms - it happens so subtly, we don't miss it until its too late.

Case in point is the power given to the Drug Enforcement Agency. I'm all 
for strong drug laws, but to give this agency unbridled power to be judge 
and jury, that's one step from a dictatorship. They are a power unto 
themselves. What is really frightening to me is, they don't have to prove 
any wrongdoing.

I just finished reading a wonderful book on this topic, "A License to 
Steal" by Leonard W. Levy. It names names, places, etc. It shows how out of 
control this agency and other police agencies really are.

Who gave these agencies this power? Why hasn't Congress provided safeguards 
to protect innocent citizens? Could you be the next victim?

Please do a little research. Knowledge is power. Protect your freedom.
