1. Action: ACLU asks you to fight for the bill of rights. Speak now
or we get to live in an Orwellian society of nightmarish
police powers, indefinite war against 'someone', and exist
in fear every day of our lives. SO DO THIS FOR YOU AND ALL
FUTURE GENERATIONS!!!

ACTION: ACLU Action Update: Oppose New Extreme Senate Terrorism Bill
In a dramatic departure from the anti-terrorism bill adopted by the
House Judiciary Committee, Senate leaders have introduced the "Uniting
and Strengthening America (USA) Act" (S.1510), a bill that would
significantly undermine many of the freedoms that Americans hold dear.
It is likely that this legislation will be rushed onto the Senate
floor this week without any committee review.
Among the bill's most troubling provisions are measures that would
give the government the authority to spy on its own people, enable the
Attorney General unlimited authority to incarcerate non-citizens, and
allow the government to expand its use of secret searches.
Take Action! Don't allow Congress to abandon
our cherished constitutional safeguards during
this time of national crisis. You can read
more about this legislation and send a FREE FAX to
your Senators from our action alert at:
