“You can look down a tremendous distance with our cameras. The camera will identify people, what they’re wearing, and cars up to a half a mile away. It’s that good.”

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.
