When you reach 25 years of knowing about surveillance issues, what happens to a person? I've never said, I could have done more with my kids, We've done everything! But you remember how little was out there in the beginning to take hold of and know what's going on. You know you have to wait, and try again in a year, or two. You feel at this point that there is no end, yet, your voice is heard. Torture under W was all over the news, and the undercurrent of our attacks were there. Never going anywhere with the War on Terror, keeping us on the list. The new normal, no more shock, is keeping us targeted, it's every day, never changing. You see stories of people who were wrongly accused of being in prison, years later, they're released, and you think that no matter how long, there is a possibility. When every person has been contacted, called, written to, gone in person, you see no way to push the issues into action, since it's you against a whole cluster of forces. I'm still fighting, but the affects of the decades are catching up.
