		<title>&#8220;It&#8217;s Just A Name&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Publius, Junius, American Farmer, Common Sense, Silence Dogood, Caesar, Senex, Phocion, Historicus, The Sons of Liberty
If these names had been connected to individuals, the American Revolution may have never happened.  If these names had not written letters, handbills, columns and essays under pseudonyms, the public may not have come together against the tyranny of [...]]]></description>

		<title>HB150 to the Senate EDUCATION Committee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What I don&#8217;t know about the sausage-making on capitol hill could fill a book, but if you were to ask me where a bill regarding law enforcement powers would be heard in the Utah Senate, it would be a Judicial Committee, just like when it was first heard in the Utah House.  However, this [...]]]></description>

		<title>HB150 Passes House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today the bill that extended warrantless demands for customer information from Internet Service Providers, HB150, was brought back as a substitute bill.  It narrowed its scope to two crimes, child kidnapping and cyberstalking and threw some dogfood to ISPs who are afraid they might actually be held responsible for their actions.
It still remained a [...]]]></description>

		<title>ISP Immunity for Violating Your Privacy!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[HB150 is back on the floor in the form of a substitute.  As far as I can see, the primary difference aside from including the modifications and amendments is this text:
113        (7) There is no cause of action against any provider or wire or electronic
114 communication service, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get A Warrant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[HB150 was defeated yesterday, but its originators are not taking &#8220;Fourth Amendment&#8221; for an answer.  A representative wrote me today with this information:
&#8220;Brad Daw and the AG&#8217;s office spoke to me late in the afternoon about their desire to bring HB 150 back in a slimmed down version that they believe will get the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Legislature Flier Against HB150</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Representative Brian King, the sole committee vote against HB150, asked me to bullet point the problems with HB150 so he could distribute it in the legislature.  This is what I wrote for him.  Feel free to refer to this when calling and writing your representatives.
VOTE NO ON HB150
1. It is unconstitutional.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Warrant Needed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution seems to be so narrowly interpreted by some, I have to wonder what they think it is supposed to protect.   &#8220;The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Good Job Senator Hatch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During my 2006 campaign, I criticized Senator Hatch for not having town-hall meetings.  In the last year, I received two pathetic &#8220;telephone town-hall&#8221; calls from Representative Chaffetz and Senator Bennett.  I think it takes a lot of courage for our elected public servants to come and &#8220;face the music&#8221; in front of their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Representative Matheson and the Democratic Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I ran for Senate in 2006,  Representative Jim Matheson was kind enough to meet with me more than once to offer help and advice.  I met with him in both his Salt Lake City office and his Washington D.C. office.  In one of those meetings he reflected upon the anger that [...]]]></description>
