TODAY is all we've got to stop this train wreck

 

Patriot Act reauthorization final vote in the Senate is TODAY!

(House vote will be after that and will be harder to control)

 

Yesterday the Senate voted us closer to enslavement by our abusive

government. Today they will cast their final votes!

 

We MUST multiply our voices many times over by calling our

Senators and Congressmen at their Washington D.C. offices and at ALL

of their local offices, every time we think of it, until the final

vote. Demand a filibuster from Democrats. Demand a NO vote on the

reauthorization from Republicans and Democrats in the Senate and House.

 

We the American people did not vote for a dictatorship and we did

not vote to be enslaved!

 

We must demand that they stop the Patriot Act Reauthorization

" compromise " . It is an abusive piece of legislation that allows the

government too many unfettered abuses against the citizens!

 

Under no circumstances should any bill reduce the liberties and

freedoms that our Constitution and our Bill of Rights assures us the

American citizens.

 

The reauthorization " compromise " allows the government to control,

wiretap, imprison, and gag its critics. This is NOT A DEMOCRACY! It

allows unbridled police force nationwide through the establishment of

a federal police force with enhanced powers. JUST SAY NO!

 

We will ALL suffer if you allow this administration to get its way

through its rampant use of rhetoric and propaganda!

 

We must oppose ALL attempts at government secrecy and lack of

oversight. We must oppose ANY curtailment of citizens' rights,

liberties, and protections from an abusive government. If not, we lay

ourselves out for a totally unaccountable administration and military-

which is called TYRANNY in any country.

 

Just say NO to their deceitful " compromise " .

Just say NO to the Patriot Act abuses.

Just say NO to tyranny.

 

It is essential that all laws provide STRONG legislative and

judicial oversight to hold this administration and the military

accountable to Congress and to the judicial branch.

 

We must urge all of our representatives to guard our civil

liberties and reject the proposed compromise.

 

There is no time to lose!

 

Enlighten as many Senators and Congressmen as you can with the

following articles TODAY. Start with your own representatives and

continue to others, since we have run out of time. The goal is to get

these articles to ALL of our national representatives and to tell them

we do not approve of the current Patriot Act reauthorization bill.

 

We should not allow this government another 4 years of abuse!

Just think of the probable damage to our elections, legal cases,

accountability, if rampant spying, wiretaps, and abusive tactics

continue through the Reauthorization of this Patriot Act. You can

expect that whistleblowers, patriots, and anyone trying to exercise

their free speech or hold the administration accountable will be

witchhunted and victimized.

 

Here are details about the failure of the " compromise "

reauthorization bill:
