We survived Bush. You will survive Obama.

Why doesn't it disturb more Democrats that the secret FISA court, which lays out all warrants for covert surveillance, is chaired with almost 90% Republicans? Where is the outrage? Doesn't it disturb any of you that a Republican judge in office until he dies, Chief Justice Roberts, has the sole veto-proof ability to appoint these judges? You're fine with this?

A Republican placing other Republicans in offices of severe power, where oversight is non-existent as a matter of protocol.

There is a mental disconnect, as the GOP regularly displays their willingness to not act on the behalf of the American people. Yet when it comes to surveillance there isn't even a rumbling of a question as to their competency for the job?

Keep your eyes shut and your mouth closed.

Was there really time for them to have investigated anything in the less than 12 hours since I appealed.

My Response:

This is just insane, and incredibly bad business and customer service on the part of Google. Star Chamber procedures and absolute radio silence as to what I supposedly did and how any decision as such was reached is just insanely stupid on your part. The fact that it all occurred on the day I started attempting to get paid makes it doubly suspicious. It looks as if you're merely trying to avoid making a pay out; you're quite welcome for letting me drive business to your ad customers, and fuck you very much for your subsequent treatment of me. If it was a significantly larger amount, I'd drag an attorney in just to be annoying. I'm sure part of your metric took that into account. REALLY HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Thanks for YOUR consideration (or complete lack thereof)

Dave Newport

PS I highly recommend you change the name of the program to AdNonsense.
