• Patriot Act (335)

For example, without a warrant and without probable cause, the FBI now has the power to access your most private medical records, your library records, and your student records... and can prevent anyone from telling you it was done. and there could be a "sequel" to it coming in the near future. Read all about this Act and why it should not only be opposed, but ruled Un-Constitutional by following this link.
