Dear Constantin, Thanks to your outrage forcing Congress to put pressure on the President to rein in the out-of-control National Security Agency domestic spying program, President Obama was compelled to address this abuse of the Fourth Amendment.

Dr. Paul Commemorates the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Over this holiday weekend, we should celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on his influence and call for ending injustice in America. It is simply unimaginable to think what modern America would be like if not for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s courage and triumph. When one sees an injustice so great, he or she must make a choice-to continue tolerating the injustice or make sacrifices in the name of stopping it. Thankfully for us, Dr. King made sacrifices and chose the path less traveled. In years to come, we must keep building the kind of America that is worthy of his memory and that our
