Please don't sign the new Patriot Act.
The Patriot Act did not catch Usama. The Patriot Act hasn't ended threats from Al-Queda, Taliban, or mexican drug cartels. The Patriot Act hasn't got us, the US, out of Afghanistan, Iraq, or anywhere else we've put our troops since it first passed over a presidential desk. The Patriot Act didn't stop a man from parking a truck bomb in Times Square
Americans, in fact, are unclear just how much the Patriot Act has done for us. It has done quite a bit TO us, stripping our civil and legal rights to the bone. The Patriot Act promised us safety in exchange for our constitutional sacrifices, but what we got is secret-police-like law enforcement with little, if any, oversight. The Patriot Act promised security for our patience, but instead we suffer indignity and TSA groping at airports while not one in 100 cargo containers coming into our ports are inspected for ANY kind of threat.
Be a patriot, Mr. President. Give America her rights back. Don't sign the Patriot Bill Extension Act. Please.
