Dan Goldman voted for warrantless wiretaps. He has repeatedly enabled the federal government’s expansive use of surveillance powers. I will never play fast and loose with your civil liberties. I’ve always stood up for constitutional privacy rights and always will.

Hier jetzt noch das Video zur Aussage von #Banaszak zum Thema #Kündigungsschutz. Eine Frage, wo inhaltlich und strategisch schlichtweg nur ein "Nein" geht. Wir wissen alle, wozu das "Diskutieren" führt und wie strategisch unklug es ist, sich derart "gesprächsbereit" zu zeigen.
