Daily Kos – by David Harris Gershon
Have you ever Tweeted a politically subversive message, attended a protest, or signed an oppositional petition? If so, you may have a dedicated file on you kept by the FBI and/or the NSA.
With a simple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, any U.S. citizen can obtain one’s NSA or FBI file, if such a file exists.
It simply takes a few minutes to fill out the requisite forms and mail them to the appropriate address. An independent site – www.getmyfbifile – will, free of charge, generate the necessary forms for you already filled out.
Of course, you can also do this directly through the NSA or FBI if you are worried about providing personal information to an independent site.
While an appropriate level of cynicism may be warranted concerning the level of transparency one should expect from such a request – should your file be substantial – it is the law that your complete file be provided to you upon request.
Demand that the law be followed, for it is your right as a citizen to know this information.
My request is going in the mail today.

The FBI can go F itself good and hard. It doesn`t make a damned bit of difference what they have on anyone. They can change it anyway they want. Whats more is if you try to get your FBI file, I would suggest that you have a attourney or someone to get it for you. Either way ya look at it, if you get the files they have on ya they will look at it as a red flag as to why you would want it – at least IMOHO anyway. The FBI and the Govt. can go F them selves along with anyone else that supports or believes in them sneaky pos pukes
I love this guy
My sentiments exactly..you know where they can shove my file? Right where the sun don’t shine!..I got a file on them too
My thoughts exactly, Digs. Especially on the fact that these bastards will immediately put a red flag on you for just requesting it and that what they send you is probably not even true. Is the author who wrote this article stupid or something? Does he really think there is still a law in this country that anyone in government follows? What a joke.
My Constitutional Attorneys and I tried for TWO YEARS to
get a file (which would prove innocence) so they simply ignored
our repeated requests… I gave up after TWO YEARS.
ITS BULL SHIT.
Its disgustingly disgraceful what has happened to this country.
And each day it gets worse and worse.
FOIA, what a joke.
Who gives a rat’s @ss? Nothing in there I don’t already know, right?
They’ve got more than enough, I’m sure. No need to make stuff up.
