URGENT PLEA, REPEAL USA PATRIOT ACT I and II.

Dear Caring friends,

IT IS TIME for the peace movement to fight for freedom at home.

new encroachments on our civil liberties.
The War hawks are working hard in the Congress and the
White House to get the so called "Patriot Act II " to be passed in
Congress. ALL Peace loving groups and anti-war groups must
push Congress very hard to protect American citizens
Constitutional Rights of Free Speech and Privacy.

SAMPLE LETTER : (Please place your Name, Address, City, State,
Zip at the BEGINNING and END of your letter and state that
you are a US Constituent or a US Voter if you live in the U.S. :
------------------------------------------------------

From: Your Name,
Your City,
Your State, and Your Zip code
(US Constituents or US Voters if you live in US)

Subject : URGENT PLEA : REPEAL PATRIOT ACT I and II.

Dear Senator ,

We will never vote for any legislator or leader who does not
defend our Civil Rights, Free Speech and Privacy rights.

We ask that the U.S.A. Patriot Act declared unconstitutional on
the grounds that it violates the privacy, due process and free
speech rights of Americans. The USA Patriot Act severely
infringes on our Constitutional Rights which are the basic
foundation of our country that passed from our founding fathers.

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution clearly states : "The Right
of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects,
against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated;.."

The 9/11 was NOT a result of insufficient surveillance powers.

As concerned voters, we urgently request our Congress to
consider the following :

1: Please REMOVE Attorney General John Ashcroft for good.
His crime is to allow the Patriot Act to violate numerous
Constitutional Rights and encroach upon millions Americans'
basic Civil rights, Free speech rights and Privacy. Attorney General
Ashcroft uses the excuse of war on terror to expand his powers.

2 : Please Vote Against the Patriot Act II.
The draft "Domestic Security Enhancement Act" contains a
multitude of new and sweeping law enforcement and intelligence
gathering powers -- many of which are not related to terrorism
-- that would severely undermine basic Constitutional Rights
and checks and balances. If such lunatic law is adopted,
the bill would diminish personal PRIVACY by removing
important checks on government surveillance authority, reduce
the Accountability of government to the American public by
increasing official secrecy and expand on the definition of "terrorism"
that threatens the constitutionally protected rights of Americans.

3: Please REPEAL the Patriot Act of 2001 that allows the
government to secretly monitor the recipient names and subject
lines of suspects' E-MAIL messages and to seize certain personal
records--which could include library books, credit card receipts,
and medical histories. Even if the FBI never abuses these powers,
the powers are so broad on the books that they will inevitably
create a chilling and threatening effect that would discourage
citizens from exercising their First Amendment rights.

4: Please REPEAL the Patriot Act that violates the Fourth Amendment
Rights by allowing the FBI to search and seize records or personal
belongings without a warrant, without showing probable cause
-- and without ever notifying even innocent people of the searches;

5 : Please REPEAL the Patriot Act that violates the First Amendment
Rights. It allows the FBI to easily obtain information about a
person's reading habits, religious affiliations, Internet surfing and
other expressive activities that would be "chilled" by the threat
of investigation;

6 : Please REPEAL the Patriot Act that violates the First Amendment
Rights by imposing a "gag order" that prohibits those served
with Section 215 orders from telling anyone -- ever -- that the
FBI demanded information, even if the information is not tied
to a particular suspect and poses no risk to national security.

On the contrary, the newly released 9/11 report showed that it
was the government's own failure to stop the terrorist activities
that led to the 9/11 attacks.
Many people believe that it was a conspiracy of prominent
officials in the Defense Dept, White House and CIA who purposely
let the 9/11 attack happening so as to incite American hatred
towards Muslim countries. Immediately after 9/11, top insiders
in the Defense Dept quickly used 9/11 as the cover to wage
War against Iraq (they may push Congress to attack Syria and
Iran later.) Sadly, such cover took nearly 3000 Americans lives.

The ACLU Special Report on Independence Day said :
".... Overbroad Federal policies such as USA PATRIOT ACT,
new FBI domestic spying guidelines, misguided anti-immigration
laws, indefinite imprisonment of American citizens in a manner that
strips them of fundamental due process rights, and the failed
operation TIPS program --which would have recruited neighbor
to spy on neighbor-- are but only a few." You may Download here:

We look forward to your making efforts to protect our
Constitutional Rights of Free Speech and Privacy. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Your Name,
Your City,
Your State and Your Zip Code.
