I suppose I got this because I'm a registered Independent. I get lots of mail and phoney calls around this time every 2-4 years for some reason.
This one reads like the DNC platform. Lots of questions referring to church and state, habeas corpus, same sex marriage, Guantanamo, etc. etc......
The one civil right unmentioned of course is the 2nd Amendment guarantee of our right to keep and bear arms. You would think that with the recent Heller decision there would at least be some mention of it. The closest they get to it is question number 4 which reads:
Upon first reading this I was thinking Katrina style gun grab, but I'm sure that's not the type of search and seizure they had in mind.
Not sure where I'm going with this honestly. I'd actually probably be a member of the ACLU if they'd pull their heads out of their posteriors on the 2A issue. I am a registered Independent for a reason afterall. That being said I've only voted for the Donkey party once for president.
I'd sortof like to use this opportunity (survey response) to let them know why I won't be joining. Page 4 of the survey is the standard membership form........
The only thing making me hesitate is the fact that I'm sure whatever letter I craft in response to this survey will likely go right into the circular file when it gets mailed back in.
Ideas???

I believe that in times of national crisis the government should not be allowed to violate the Fourth Amendment protection against unwarranted searches and seizures, and that any search made of private property should only be permitted with a court-issued warrant and after giving prior notice
