Call for PATRIOT Review, Not Expansion



The USA PATRIOT Act
is under more scrutiny than ever, but a few congressmen are itching to
expand some of its most troubling provisions.  The Anti-Terrorism
Intelligence Tools Improvement Act (H.R. 3179) would strengthen the
government's already overbroad authority to gain secret access to your
personal info – including your phone, Internet, and financial
records.  It would also allow law enforcement to target domestic
suspects with no ties to any foreign government or terrorist group –
extending the reach of powerful surveillance laws originallyintended
only for spies and other “agents of a foreign power.”



Expanding
PATRIOT now, without the Department of Justice demonstrating that it is
clearly justified, unnecessarily threatens our most fundamental rights
as U.S. citizens.  Congress shouldn't hand the DoJ any new
investigative tools until it has conducted a comprehensive and public
review of whether the current PATRIOT powers have been both effective
and adequately protective of our civil liberties.  Ask your
representative to oppose H.R. 3179 and support PATRIOT review today!
