| U.S. Rep. Bob Barr, a Republican from Georgia, spoke Sept. 1 to a standing- room-only crowd at the Tate Student Center. Some highlights: A lot of important issues stick and dont go away, and certainly one of those has to be the tragedy in Waco. We are trying to get to the bottom of that terrible, terrible day. . . . Over the next few months, we will probably have hearings to answer certain questions: Was the military involved? If so, to what extent? Was this a violation of the law? We never want to see anything like that happen again, and changes must be made so it wont happen again. Our right to privacy and Second Amendment rights are slowly being frittered away because people are not getting involved . . . Do you know the National Security Administration is listening in on two million communications every hour of every day, listening for key words? What is the authority? If you care about the right to privacy, get involved in the political process, or soon there will be no privacy. If we just sit back and watch the government take away an explicit Constitutional right, they can take anything away. Those rights in the Constitution have been bought and paid for with too much blood, sweat and tears to be frittered away. |
