Everyone is making this out to be like the federal government is reading the emails of hundreds of thousands of Americans. This isn't the case. Facebook gave out the number of ten thousand over the past five years, and that the vast majority of these aren't from the federal government but instead from local police departments - Missing persons cases and other related investigations.

Richard you should use some of your pornslinger money and buy yourself a clue.
“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday. “That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”
Maxine Waters is the U.S. Representative for California’s 43rd congressional district, and previously the 35th and 29th districts, serving since 1991. She is a member of the Democratic Party.
