President Richard
Nixon resigned after wiretapping a handful of journalists, sparing the nation
the ordeal of impeachment. We call on Obama to do the same. His administration
vetted the NSA's surveillance of millions of Americans and seriously violated the
Fourth Amendment. He confiscated the personal records of reporters, thus
violating the First Amendment, and the IRS under his watch harassed political
organizations opposed to his policies. Moreover, his administration has lied
under oath to Congress. In addition to violating Article I, Section 8 of the
Constitution by invading Libya,
his administration engaged in torture and conducted a covert drone war. Due to
the severity of these crimes, we call for the immediate resignation of Barack
Obama.

Obama's NSA is Collecting Phone Records of Millions of Americans Everyday
The National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon, one of America's largest telecoms providers, under a top secret court order issued in April.
The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.
The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk – regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing.
The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (Fisa) granted the order to the FBI on April 25, giving the government unlimited authority to obtain the data for a specified three-month period ending on July 19.

In a story appearing earlier today on the U.K’s Daily Mail website, it was reported that the DHS has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor various social networking sites. The list provides a glimpse into what DHS describes as “signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.”
