 Congressman
James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-WI) passed an amendment
through the House on unanimous consent, which extends
the USA PATRIOT Act for one month.
Backers
of the reauthorization bill claim that they have made
major improvements to the PATRIOT Act. Don't be fooled.
Adding four-year sunsets on three provisions of the act
while making the rest of the powers permanent and making
the National Security Letter (NSL) powers of the FBI
worse certainly does not protect our civil liberties.
The PATRIOT Act must be fixed.
On
February, 2006, Congress will vote to renew the USA
PATRIOT Act. Contact your
representatives now and urge them to vote against the
renewal. To view contact information of your
