I am a citizen of the United States of America, who has grown increasingly concerned over the direction our country is going. Where once our Constitution was considered the letter of the law, it is now under attack. Where once our politicians were reasonably good men with principals, the majority are now in the pocket of corporate lobbyists, making policy based on the interests of corporations instead of what is right for the people of America.

If you have only been following the main stream media networks, than you might not have heard about ACTA, which is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. ACTA is a world wide treaty that is being decided behind closed doors and without any transparency. When confronted with requests to make information about this treaty, which has very far reaching effects into Internet Privacy, President Obama's Administration borrowed a line from Bush and made it clear that by not releasing information they are protecti
