There is apparently another attempt by the de facto State to seize
information which it has no right to. This time, they are attempting
to compel internet service providers to turn over private information,
communications, and activity logs. I just learned of this yesterday,
and am still trying to get more information from several sources on
just what is being done. In the meantime, you can see a copy of the
latest de facto State action against one Internet Service Provider by
clicking here. My thanks to Cecil Brice, District Director of Judicial
Affairs for District Four, for bringing this to the attention of the
people. I am still investigating this issue, and more information will
be posted as it becomes available. 
This is just another small step in the total erosion of your rights to
free speech and free association. I urge *everyone* to get involved
*now*, whether you support the Republic of Texas or not, to stop the
silent destruction of your rights. Call your senator. Call your
congressman. Call your mayor. Call your police chief. Call your
neighbor. Call everyone you know. Politely but firmly express your
outrage over these invasions into private communications and private
enterprise. These inquisitionist tactics *must not* be tolerated in a
free society! Make your voice heard *NOW* while you still can! 
On a related note -- if anyone wants to mirror this web site, or just
have a complete copy for yourself, let me know by sending an EMail to
robertk@flash.net or fax me at (972)-222-0065. 
Finally, I have been offline for a couple of days, and have not yet
had a chance to do some of the updates that need to be done. Your
patience is appreciated.
