Thank you and God Bless to every American who spent time publicizing this urgent but informal free-speech campaign aimed at shutting down a volunteer domestic spying program conducted directly from the White House. The American people--rich or poor, black or white, Republican or Democrat--cannot be mocked, even by someone who knows every loophole in First Amendment law.

We would note that the Democratic National Committe is still collecting email addresses to share with the government, which we still find pretty darn fishy. Of course, the White House is still making a little list (which may very well include personal email addresses) on its website, but the first battle against the White House for Freedom of Speech has been won by the People.
