"...[A]ny telecommunications company that has provided the government with access to private information concerning the communications of Americans without a proper warrant should immediately cease and desist their complicity in this apparently illegal invasion of the privacy of American citizens. Freedom of communication is an essential prerequisite for the restoration of the health of our democracy. It is particularly important that the freedom of the Internet be protected against either the encroachment of government or efforts at control by large media conglomerates. The future of our democracy depends on it." Monday, January 16, 2006 Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Speech Text by Al Gore Click HERE to link to the WHOLE text of this speech.
