More on the USA PATRIOT Act
 

Recently, I stated that PATRIOT was bad news, and that worse was sure to follow in its wake. I would now like to provide you with proof of that. This was leaked to the public several months ago, but for those of you who haven't seen it, this is the proof that worse is coming down the pike, if Ashcroft and company have their way.

Follow the link below for the full text of the sequel to the PATRIOT Act, known as the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, commonly referred to as "PATRIOT II." The tremendous backlash toward the USA PATRIOT Act appears to be the reason that this one hasn't seen the light of day. Let's hope it never does.

I encourage you all to take the time to read this. It's scary shit, folks. Write your Congressmen.

I am not a fan of the Patriot Act either. Not good stuff. :/

Hope its successor never passes.

I find it tremendously ironic/scary that the new legislation is to be called the "Victory Act".
