Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life

"Outstanding…Moore Triumphs! Publishers Weekly

 

Exclusive Mike's High School Newspaper Interview
With Activist Marc Perkel on Challenging Nancy Pelosi
on NSA Scandal and Edward Snowden at Netroots Nation:

 

 

'They're Overriding
the Fourth Amendment'

"It's an impeachable offense no matter who does it. It's mentally painful [for
Democrats] to understand that Obama is doing this. These people are being
asked to believe two opposite things. They were used to believing how evil
it was when Bush did it, and all of a sudden Obama is doing it, and it
just basically is making everybody stupider." – Marc Perkel

DO SOMETHING:
Tell President Obama and Congress: End the Secret Surveillance State
Join Daniel Ellsberg and the ACLU in demanding the repeal of section 215
of the Patriot Act and section 702 of FISA
