Anne Flaherty wrote a wonderful article about how AT&T (and other Telecoms are making money off selling OUR info to the government. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

My current "action" has been to post a a petition for people to sign if they would serve Bradley Manning's sentence http://org.credoaction.com/...
More than 3900 people have signed so far. Hooray for Non-Sheeple!!!
