Govt. wants Occupier’s Twitter records- source- commondreams.org

Posted on by


From Progressive Blogs Source : http://www.commondreams.org

Progressive Blogs Excerpts from Newstweeters.com

Commentary: The government has produced a subpoena calling for Twitter records of an Occupy protester. This brings into question the right the government has to issue surveillance without presenting a warrant. It would appear that the government is using a fear tactic to try to get protesters to shut up so Obama has more of a chance of being re-elected. This to me seems like censorship, which is never a good thing. – excerpt below

From newstweeter: @coatesdavid

Progressive News Tweets from Newstweeters.com

EXCERPT From Article Tweeted: Each of the main Republican contenders has a set of taxation proposals at the heart of his program — proposals united by two shared premises: that current taxation is too high, particularly on the rich and on corporate America; and that reducing the rate and volume of taxation will trigger renewed private sector investment and associated job growth.
