Urge Congress to Stop the Total Information Awareness Program!
Senator Russell Feingold (D-WI) has introduced legislation that would enact a moratium on the misguided Defense Department program called "Total Information Awareness." This program would allow the government to collect personal information on every person in the USA. The system, which includes an advance form of "data-mining," would effectively provide government officials with immediate access to our personal information including: our communications (phone calls, emails and web searches), financial records, purchases, prescriptions, school records, medical records and travel history. Under the program, all aspects of our personal and professional lives could be catalogued and available to government officials. It is critical that Congress cut funding for this invasive program.

Please Don't Feed the Trolls
Wikipedia defines an Internet Troll as: "An Internet troll is either a person who sends messages on the Internet hoping to entice other users into angry or fruitless responses, or a message sent by such a person." Boston IMC strives to provide both a grassroots media resource as well as a forum for people to contribute to a meaningful discussion about local issues. Please, when posting comments, be respectful of others and ignore those trying to interrupt or discourage meaningful discourse. Thank you.
