Republicans Try to Sneak in Patriot Act Additions - Now
Here it comes. Just in time for the looming election. Republicans are attempting to pass significant additions to the Patriot Act via hurried proceedings in the Senate, including provisions from last year's Patriot Act II. The chances are good they will succeed. Their goal is to have the legislation, S. 2679, the "Tools to Fight Terrorism Act of 2004, signed by Bush before November 2. For more, and for what you can do to protest, visit here:
"Instead of considering new laws to further erode our privacy and freedoms, the Senate should be reviewing the Patriot Act to bring it in line with the Constitution."
The opposition to that point of view is organizing. Read about the letter from law enforcement types in today's Washington Times supporting The Patriot Act. The names on the list alone are frightening--Ted Olson, Rudy Giuiliani. And they've formed a new group--"Coalition for Security, Liberty and the Law."
Let's not let Congress pass another law without adequate time for relection and open debate. Act in haste, repent at leisure.
