Libertarians for Ron Paul

Telecom immunity fails to render justice to the American people

The Libertarian Party says that Republicans and Democrats have failed the American people by allowing telecommunication companies complicit in the Bush administration’s illegal wiretap program to go without punishment.

“Civil liberties were violated, and only 28 senators cared to see justice served,” says Libertarian Party spokesperson Andrew Davis, “and Barack Obama was not one of them.”

The Libertarian Party has repeatedly called for the rejection of any amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that empowered the government to spy on American citizens and granted immunity to companies complicit in illegal surveillance operations.
