US PATRIOT ACT REPEAL THE USA PATRIOT ACT: Public hearings all over the country were scheduled for July concerning the USA PATRIOT ACT .You all need to be aware of the dangerous precedent this madness represents. On Oct. 26, 2001, our Congress passed the most far-reaching snatch of liberty from the American people ever passed. Never in the history of this nation has a law been passed so quickly. It took only 11 days for this to take place. That is record time for our Congress to act on anything. The events on 9/11 took the good sense out of our leaders and we need to bring it to a screeching halt before our country winds up like Europe did in the days of Hitler's rise to power. These are just part of what this thing does to every citizen of this country not just bikers. You can bet, however, we are the most immediate targets available. 1) ELIMINATES FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION: Government may monitor religious, labor, and political institutions without having to suspect criminal activity, if it is to assist in a "terror" investigation. 2) FREEDOM OF INFORMATION: Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records requests. 3) FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed info related to a terror investigation 4) RIGHT TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION: Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to American citizens accused of crimes. 5) FREEDOM FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHES: Government may search and seize Americans' personal records, business documents and telephone/ Internet activity records without probable cause, to assist alleged terror investigations. 6) RIGHT TO A SPEEDY AND PUBLIC TRIAL: Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial. 7) RIGHT TO LIBERTY: Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront the witnesses against them. What you have just read is just a sample of what your government has up its sleeve besides the arm. If you aren't shaken by these words I don't know what to tell you except bend over and kiss your sweet patootie goodbye. "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin |
