Civil Liberties Under Attack

By September 12th, various federal agencies began petitioning lawmakers from their wish lists of police powers. Riding on the fear of the American public, and against the cries of civil libertarians, congress has rushed many of these police powers into law. It is very important that Americans not allow the terrorists to be the catalyst for having our rights taken away from us.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
-- Ben Franklin
