I'm demanding that the administration tell the people the truth about illegal government spying on Americans.
The president and others have aggressively defended their spying programs, but they've refused to provide the facts.
The administration owes the people, the Congress and our courts answers to the mounting questions surrounding this program. Were federal laws violated? Were oaths of office broken?
Even the president's own party is up in arms over these reckless and illegal actions. Just this week, New Mexico Republican Congresswoman Heather Wilson called for a full congressional inquiry into the warrantless NSA domestic spying.
Like concerned Americans across the political spectrum, I want the truth about illegal government spying on Americans.
How many Americans have had their phone calls or e-mails monitored by this illegal program? Which laws was President Bush citing when he said the program is "legally right?"
The administration must stop using national security as a blanket reason to keep its illegal activities hidden in the shadows. Effective and public oversight is possible without compromising our security and only a legitimate investigation in Congress can bring the truth to light.
Americans are demanding answers. Because in America, no one is above the law, not even the President.
