Here’s a worthy cause we can all get behind.
Jay at Stop the ACLU is supporting blogger Debbie Schlussel’s effort to file an affidavit on our behalf as American citizens in the ACLU’s suit against the NSA. Debbie would like as many “interveners” as she can get. Here’s what she needs:
I will need everyone’s complete name and contact info (full name, phone number, e-mail address, complete U.S. snailmail address–you must be a U.S. citizen). If you have e-mailed me regarding this, I will respond via e-mail to you over the weekend and into next week, with an affidavit to sign (with notarized signature) and a brief agreement saying you agree to have me represent you in court for this matter and that I will not charge you any fees.
Debbie will not charge any fees but there are costs involved for filing the affidavit ($250) as well as other charges as we go along. That’s why Jay has a donation button at the bottom of this post. Please visit Jay’s site and sign up for the affidavit and also to give generously to this worthy cause.

My sympathies to Debbie’s efforts, but I fear she is wasting both her time and money. Debbie and everyone else who cannot prove they have been surveilled by the NSA have no standing to sue the government. As a taxpayer, she cannot sue the government or act as an intervenor in any case dealing with domestic surveillance.
While I admire her spirit, Debbie’s efforts would be better applied to a lobbying campaign for more stringent oversight or directed hearings on Capitol Hill.
