Civil Rights
Welcome to the New Amerika.
TalkLeft has a good post about the latest attempt by Ashcroft, Bush and friends to relieve us of those odious "civil rights" they so resent: TalkLeft: Patriot Act II
I had always looked at the ACLU as being somewhat on the fringe; I am on the liberal side of moderate, myself and had never considered joining that organization. Until, that is, they announced that they were categorically opposed to the so-called "USA PATRIOT" Act and others of its ilk, and were working to have it repealed. At that point, I gave them my money.
You should, too, if you value your rights as a United States Citizen. You should also be writing your Senators and Representative about this abominable legislation. I already have, repeatedly.
