I am sure you are aware of the damage the so-called ‘Patriot’ Act has done to our rights. Pat Holt sent an email broadcast today about Section 215, which “allows FBI agents to search records in bookstores and libraries of anyone they believe may have information relevant to their investigations, including people who are not suspected of committing a crime”. The request for obtaining one of these search warrants is held in secret. Ashcroft assures us that they have not used it, but as Holt points out, then why does it exist. And how are we supposed to know if the whole thing is kept quiet. So I went and signed a petition against this bad bad policy. Really, one of the things we should be fighting for today is to rid our country of this Patriot Act. No good can come of it. I have put the button below so others can go sign it.
