Our President admits spying on us

and it should ignite an outrage in America and the world. But most people are too apathetic to care. I hope it energizes the Democratic electorate and enough independents to not vote Republican that we win next elections (2006 and 2008).

Secret database obtained by NBC News tracks `suspicious' domestic groups By Lisa Myers, Douglas Pasternak, Rich Gardella and the NBC Investigative Unit Updated: 7:51 p.m. ET Dec. 13, 2005 WASHINGTON - A year ago, at a Quaker Meeting House in Lake Worth, Fla., a small group of activists met to plan a protest of military recruiting at local high schools. What they didn't know was that their meeting had come to the attention of the U.S. military. A secret 400-page Defense Department document obtained by NBC News lists the Lake Worth meeting as a "threat" and one of more than 1,500 "suspicious incidents" across the country over a recent 10-month period. "This peaceful, educationally oriented group being a threat is incredible," says Evy Grachow, a member of the Florida group called The Truth Project. "This is incredible," adds group member Rich Hersh. "It's an example of paranoia by our government
