Just say NO to the USA PATRIOT ACT

The USA Patriot Act gave the government unprecedented powers to violate our civil liberties and drill deep into the private lives of innocent Americans.

We must NOT accept legislation that threatens our constitutional rights in the name of security.

The USA PATRIOT Act and related government actions undercut many important checks and balances on government law enforcement and intelligence powers.

Under this Act, the government can search your home without notifying you, can get a list of the books you have obtained from your library and your local bookstore and require your local librarian and bookseller to keep this hidden from you, can keep a file on how often you go to church, which churches you attend and the medications you use -- even if these activities have nothing to do with the fight against terrorism .

We must STOP McCarthy-style law enforcement persecution, and reinstate checks on government power.
