Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
The ACLU has joined forces with Ron Paul supporters in a “strange bedfellows” coalition to raise money that will be used in primary challenges against Democrats who vote in favor of the FISA capitulation. Personally, I don’t see anything strange about libertarians and liberals joining forces on civil liberties issues, but if the label helps them get more media coverage, more power to them. Another example of those “damned, so-called libertarians” getting involved in the FISA fight.
