		<description><![CDATA[An Act Regarding the Commonwealth Fusion Center and Other Intelligence Data <br />Centers <p>Shortly after 9/11, then-Governor Mitt Romney entered Massachusetts in a <br />national plan to spy on American citizens. &#160;Mitt may be gone and forgotten, but <br />his legacy is still with us. &#160;<a href="http://it.ojp.gov/documents/fusion_center_guidelines_law_enforcement.pdf">The Commonwealth Fusion Center</a> is for <br />multiple agency information data mining by federal, state, and local law <br />enforcement agencies. &#160;Any activity, even those that are legal, are subject to <br />scrutiny by any "enforcement" activity. &#160;There is no independent oversight. &#160;The <br />use of this information for extra-legal activities boggles the mind. &#160;Extortion? &#160;<br />Blackmail? Data tampering? &#160;<p>Maybe you were in that peaceful march for equal rights. &#160;Maybe you have a name <br />close to that of a suspected terrorist. &#160;Maybe the law enforcement people don't <br />have enough to justify their jobs. &#160;Maybe they will be reassigned to real law <br />enforcement if they don't "get" someone. &#160;It could be you. &#160;<p>Time for change. &#160;Time to start the process of taking back our country. &#160;Time to <br />love our country but always cut the cards when dealing with its power groups. &#160; <p>Let's ask our state senators and representatives to co-sponsor and support Senator <br />Harriette Chandler's new bill, an Act Regarding the Commonwealth Fusion Center <br />and Other Intelligence Data Centers. &#160;]]></description>
