We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Stop the New Patriot Act! Author: TheEggman [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:26:50 02/27/03 Thu From: Matt Howes, National Internet Organizer, ACLU To: ACLU Action Network Members Date: February 27, 2003 Stop the New Patriot Act! Under the guise of terrorism, Attorney General Ashcroft has been secretly preparing new legislation that would significantly reduce privacy protections and essentially eliminate some of the most fundamental checks and balances on governmental power. The draft "Domestic Security Enhancement Act" contains a multitude of law enforcement and intelligence gathering powers -- many of which are not related to terrorism -- that would severely undermine basic constitutional rights. For example, the proposed legislation would allow the sampling and cataloguing of innocent Americans' DNA without court order and without consent. Take Action now! We can stop this legislation and tell our elected officials that they must exercise appropriate oversight over the Justice Department and FBI to prevent abuse of power.
