Congress sends NSA bill to president
Congress sends bill to president curbing the NSA phone surveillance program. Since Edward Snowden a government contractor made the top secret program public there have been growing concerns. Finally the American people have been heard. Congress has sent the bill to the president requesting the phone company's hold the information and this can only be turned over with a warrant. This is a step in the right direction for our very worried nation. Since the information was released two years ago the trust between other nations and ours have been lost as well as our trust for our own government.
America a nation built on freedom has been in a 30 year cycle of loosing more and more freedom, so anything that can help our citizens at this point is a huge plus. The vote today was 67 - 32. The house has already passed the bill and the president Barack Obama plans to sign the bill quickly. For any American this is a good sign that our government is finally realizing they have been overstepping lines for far too long.
Most people ever running for US president?
This presidential race could be the largest in history with candidates coming from all angels. Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders have already declared for the Democratic party. Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Carley Fiorina, Lindsy Grahm, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum all have declaired for the Republican party. These list do not include over 30 other potential candidates whom are already gathering information and planning their runs, the most notable would be Chicago own Willie Wilson. Willie Wilson had just run for mayor of Chicago in the last election cycle and is now planning to run against a slew of other candidates to become the president of the United States.
As this race continues on we will see what comes of it. With stakes high currently Hillary Clinton and Rand Paul are the top to candidates in the race. We will see where this goes and follow the race through the race. Some would wonder why the Republican party would not unify in a time of need. Having so many candidates up and running could hurt more than help the party in it's entirety.
