If anyone is interested in participating in the political process beyond the realm of CollarMe; this site is a good place to start. http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/
 
You can leave your tin hat behind, it's neutral. But the site will inform you and keep you informed on issues. It will also track your representatives and provide access. I haven't read the details of the "Privacy Amendment" referenced in this email I received, but I don't see myself against the concept it represents. What this site does is give you an easy way to let your representative know where you stand.  
 
I hope, regardless of what side you find yourself on this or any issue, that as a US citizen you participate.

Constitutional Amendment: Right to Privacy

As part of our focus on activists and their ideas, we present this proposed idea for legislation from Bonita Springs, Fl. 

A "Privacy Amendment" to state and the U.S. Constitutions that guarantees a right to privacy in all areas of our lives.  This would impact things  such as telemarketeing calls, medical records access, gun registration, abortion, gay rights and many other areas of personal behavior and activity. Most of these issues were impacted by courts' interpretations of a right to privacy and the debate as to whether the U.S. Constitution has an implied right to privacy as was decided for example in Roe v. Wade.  By passing an amendment, this issue and others would be decided once and for all.

Should your elected officials support or introduce a constitutional amendment that guarantees a right to privacy?  Write to President Bush, Congress and your governor and state legislature to let them know your views on this idea. Start by selecting your view: 

I Support A Right to Privacy Amendment to the Constitution

I Oppose a Right to Privacy Amendment to the Constitution
