The Constitution is not self-executing. Citizen action and courage are its twin pillars
Congress has one last chance to fix the PATRIOT Act, and the crucial vote is coming up soon. With your help, Russ collected thousands of signatures and convinced the Senate to pass a modified version of the act that would remove some of the worst infringements on our rights and freedoms. Now we need to make sure the Senate version is the one that becomes law.

I hereby affirm: I believe that the United States can vigorously fight terrorism while protecting the very freedoms that make us Americans. I believe that certain provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act go too far in curtailing our basic freedoms and must be fixed. I agree with Sen. Feingold's revisions that fix the most troubling parts of the act. Therefore, I urge Congress to pass the Senate version of the PATRIOT Act. |
