Renewal and Expansion Heating Up
An historic, pivotal battle over the Patriot Act is now underway. This summer, America will need your help as never before, as we work to restore liberties lost to the Patriot Act, and to stem the tide of further expansions.
If we are going to beat back this climate of secrecy and slow the rush to eliminate checks and balances, we will need to work tirelessly and together as Patriot Act legislation makes its way through Congress this summer.
| “Take Action! Act now and urge your members of Congress to oppose expansion of the Patriot Act. „ |
Proposed expansions to the Patriot Act include new FBI powers to order disclosure of a broad array of personal records without judicial approval in advance. Another provision would broaden the government’s ability to monitor your mail.
Not surprisingly, the sponsors of these attacks on liberty are deploying the same tactics used in the 45 days after September 11, 2001, when the Patriot Act was rushed through Congress with little to no debate.
You have helped the ACLU educate and rally millions of Americans who now realize that the Patriot Act went too far, too fast. We’ve been successful in generating a growing clamor of bipartisan concern over the Patriot Act. The time to make our voices heard is now.
In the coming weeks, we will keep you informed of developments in Congress and our essential efforts to make sure the Patriot Act receives real reform, not a rubber stamp.
There will be much work for us all. You can begin to get involved today.
Take action now and urge your members of Congress to oppose expansion of the Patriot Act.
