The ladies basis for dissent are in no way factual.
The key point is her RIGHT to dissent, not the factual basis for her dissent.
She shouldn't have Big Sis or Homeland Security snooping around simply because she voices dissent. Plus, the stench of the fascism wafting up Homeland Security stifling dissent for corporate interests should be worthy of alarm from the lot of us.

Reminds me of this disturbing experience that I had. I was doing some sending of faxes to representatives stating views on the Palestinian cause and demand for justice within the Jewish Voters For Peace Group. Guess who sent me an e-mail post haste telling me that they had my ISP and would be filing my data into the Israeli Government database?
As a US citizen, I should never have to hear from ANY foreign government regarding my Free Speech activities.
