We are just waiting for our coalition partner.' <\/p><p>He also said that data protection would become a crucial issue as international corporations had growing access to personal information - citing Apple's iPhone, the Sony Playstation and Facebook as examples of this trend.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Roesler was born in South Vietnam, and adopted into a German family as an infant.<\/p><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/f3f71_7828681836623105417-1460835818056908656?l=www.libertarianrepublican.net\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tax Cuts &amp; Privacy RightsFrom Eric Dondero:Philip Roesler is the newly elected leader of the Free Democrat Party (FDP).
