Our Constitutional Freedoms Are In Jeopardy

Now is the time to restore real checks and balances to the worst sections of the Patriot Act. But our chance may be lost forever when Congress votes on whether to make it permanent and expand its powers. This sweeping legislation must be fixed if Americans are to preserve our basic freedoms and protect ourselves from broad government searches of our personal records and information. Under the Patriot Act, the government can:

• Search your home and not even tell you (Sec. 213)
• Collect information about what you read, what you buy, your hotel visits and your medical history (Sec. 215)
• Seize business and financial records (Sec. 505)
• Track your email activity and web usage (Sec. 216)
