Taking a Stand

My generation grew up hearing we are a nation ruled by laws -- not men. It is comforting to know when there is a question about those laws protecting our individual rights being threatened there are men and women willing to cast off their party affiliation to err on the side of liberty.

Just as we saw in the wake of 9/11, there is a bipartisan effort taking shape to defend what America stands for.

The Carpetbagger Report lists conservatives taking issue with the administration's domestic spying program:
  • Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA)
  • Sen Lindsey Graham (R-SC)
  • Sen Chuck Hagel (NE)
  • Sen Olympia Snowe (MN)
  • Bruce Fein, conservative constitutional scholar and former deputy attorney general in the Reagan Administration
  • Norm Ornstein, a conservative scholar at the American Enterprise
  • Former Secretary of State Colin Powell
  • Former Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA)
  • Neil Boortz, conservative commentator & blogger
  • Jon Henke, conservative commentator & blogger
The Carpetbagger Report has details on how each has publicly criticized the President and the domestic spying program. (The Carpetbagger Report/HT: Upper Left)
