Expand the PATRIOT Act? Hell No!
From the EFF
The USA PATRIOT Act is under more scrutiny than ever, but a few congressmen are itching to expand some of its most troubling provisions. The Anti-Terrorism Intelligence Tools Improvement Act (H.R. 3179) would strengthen the government's already overbroad authority to gain secret access to your personal info - including phone, Internet, and financial records. It would also allow law enforcement to target domestic suspects with no ties to any foreign government or terrorist group - extending the reach of powerful surveillance laws originally intended only for spies and other 'agents of a foreign power.'Tell your Representative to oppose this bill.
