I know, what’s the point, right? For me, I just want to really, really embarrass the hell out of them with like a zillion signatures in a few weeks. Looks like they’re getting close to a thousand a day so far and the WH just launched this ‘We the People’ thing so a lot of folks haven’t even heard of it yet.
“Last month the White House created an online petition system through which constituents can directly voice any grievances and concerns to the US government.
Any petition that reaches 25,000 signatures (5,000 originally) is promised an official reply. This weekend the first petitions will be closing, and already many have far exceeded the required number of signatures. “
As a business owner who had to lay off and shut down a complete division of our company due to the outragous behaviour of the TSA, I have a few words to say. This division was growing and hiring until our workers were threatened by the TSA for traveling with laptop projectors (needed for their job). All our retired scientists working as Consultants to industry which needed them, have quit. They refused to be treated as terrorists to have a job. Every week I get calls and have to turn down work. Sadly the TSA has done what the terrorists could not do, destroy our jobs! PLEASE ABOLISH THE TSA! They are job killers and violators of our rights as a free people.
As a veteran it turns my stomach to see this form of surrender and loss of dignity for our people happening everyday. I served in the military to prevent things like the TSA and other forms of resurrected NAZI types of government from becoming a reality. Apparently, while we were risking our lives, our cowardly government surrendered!
Peoples freedoms are being whittled away little by little. Besides the indignity of the searches, the TSA has been caught time and time again stealing from the public that they are “supposed” to be protecting. Get rid of these groping theives. The Israeli’s have a wonderful security. The USA could learn from them.
Michael,
This site was down for a while and I am soooo glad to see it back up!
27,000 signatures on a petition to abolish the TSA. How does Washington respond? In the usual manner, of course. We know better than you the masses, we are doing this for your own good, and we will not stop no matter what you think, do, or say! It is our right, it is our DUTY, to throw off this tyranny!
