EIGHT MAJOR TECH COMPANIES: RESTRICT GOVERNMENT SPYING

Eight major tech companies including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo, AOL and Twitter are calling on Obama and the U.S. Congress to impose new curbs on surveillance after a series of revelations detailing how the National Security Agency (NSA) accessed and collected user data from their customers. "The balance in many countries has tipped too far in favor of the state and away from the rights of the individual — rights that are enshrined in our Constitution. This undermines the freedoms we all cherish."

Hooray and congratulations to these firms for standing up to the bullying, oppressive spying tactics being used against us.   Of course, Obama is not to blame; Kelsey Grammer did it.
