State legislators in Maryland have introduced a bill that would cut off water, electricity and other utilities to National Security Agency headquarters, which are located in the Old Line state. The bill is called the Fourth Amendment Protection Act, and supporters say the bill would block the NSA from spying on citizens in Maryland. Similar bills are being introduced in Washington, Utah and Missouri. RT’s Liz Wahl asks Shahid Buttar, executive director of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and who helped draft Maryland’s legislation, how the bill would impact NSA operations.

Updated this post with this short video report: “Utah Lawmaker Moves To Cut Off Water For Massive NSA Data Storage Facility”.
Hurrah!
I couldn’t resist adding another positive video report. The next thing that needs to happen is for the citizens of these states to contact their representatives and state senators in support of these bills. Get some local media to do stories on this issue, too.
YEA for Maryland! We have to support local as much as possible. And citizen smart states. This NSA shit is not just about the little guy. Think of the power spying gives the spy. Blackmail supreme for the big a holes ( and what goes in those holes) Mary Land has balls and I love her for that.

shut’er down man! shut’er down.. screw the NSA
Great initiative. Pull the plug! The public interest must trump the gigantic tyranny of corporate supremacy.
It may be a noble thing to aspire to “rule the world,” but quite another to genuinely know what this world really is, how to respect life on Earth and understand the way its inhabitants should be governed ~ preferably by themselves.
Power to the states not US Inc!
Hats off to Gene Sharpe for showing the way.
