Don't Let Them Destroy Our Rights!
Just days after the 9/11 attacks, Congress passed -- with barely any debate -- the 342-page "USA PATRIOT Act," seriously undermining our Bill of Rights. With its sweeping new powers, the government can now:
- label you a "terrorist" if you belong to an activist group;
- search your home and not even tell you;
- collect information about what you read, your medical history, and your personal finances;
- monitor your e-mails and the internet sites you visit; and much more.
People around the country are standing up for the Bill of Rights. Three states and over 250 counties, cities, and towns have gone on record opposing the PATRIOT Act.
Join us in urging the Montclair Township Council to oppose the PATRIOT Act.
