[Viva_La_Revolution]

PORTLAND, Ore. - The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon on Thursday joined other ACLU chapters around the nation to file Freedom of Information Act requests with the FBI to determine whether the agency is spying on political and religious groups.

The ACLU said there is evidence the FBI and police are illegally spying on political, environmental and faith-based groups elsewhere in the country.

COINTELPRO
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

COINTELPRO is an acronym ('COunter INTELligence PROgram') for a program of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation aimed at attacking dissident political organizations within the United States. Although covert operations have been employed throughout FBI history, the formal COINTELPRO's of 1956-1971 were broadly targeted against organizations that were (at the time) considered politically radical, such as Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Four more years of hell and massive stupidity.
