Are you being spied on?
Sending this as a ltte- far and wide

Talked to customer service about your Dell Computer? Had a problem with your AT&T wireless phone? Checked your Citibank account balance? Did Windows "crash" and you had to call support? Try to cancel your free AOL account? Sprint broadband on the fritz? Check your stocks with Morgan Stanley? Pay your Chase credit card bill over the phone? Called anyone lately about your GE health insurance?
If you have done any of these things, you may want to get yourself a lawyer. It is possible that your phone calls have been monitored without your knowledge by the President Of The United States.
According to him and his hand picked lawyers, due to 9/11 he has the inherent right to monitor the phone calls of American citizens to overseas phone numbers without getting a warrant, at his own discretion.
All of the companies listed above have outsourced jobs to other countries. As such, the National Security Agency may have a file on you.
But your President would never lie to you, would he? WMD's, yellowcake uranium, aluminum tubes, mushroom clouds. Any of that ring a bell?
So watch yourself. Watch those e-mails and requests for library books. There might be a big black SUV parked in front of your house tomorrow.
Having a Constitution and Bill Of Rights was fun while it lasted, wasn't it? All hail King George.

2. Probably...
for reasons I'll let the G-men figure out on their own. They should EARN their pay; no use spoon-feeding them information. ;)

3. I am almost sure I have my phones tapped
they keep failing, and the phone company can't figure it out.

7. "This call may be monitored for quality assurance"
That phrase takes on an entirely new meaning now.

When we're making a call to tech support or Verizon or whoever, we may be getting duped into giving our consent to being spied on when we get a message such as "This call may be monitored for quality assurance purposes." I wonder if they will try to use this as a legal loophole.

9. I just remember from Farenheiht 911
How the people who gathered for cookies to talk about books and the retired guy at the gym got reported to the FBI for talking against the President.
