BILL INTRODUCED TO MAKE PATRIOT ACT PERMANENT


BACKGROUND:

It is well known to the Pakistani American and the American Muslim community, how the civil rights of all Americans have been eroded because of the Patriot Act. Fortunately PATRIOT ACT has a sunset clause because of which parts of this controversial law become inactive: On May 21st, 2004 Mr. KYL (for himself, Mr. MILLER, Mr. CORNYN, Mr. SESSIONS, Mr. CHAMBLISS, Mr. GRAHAM of South Carolina, Mr. NICKLES, Mr. MCCONNELL, Mr. INHOFE, and Mr. ROBERTS) introduced S 2476 which if passes would make the PATRIOT ACT PERMANENT.

ACTION REQUEST:

Please write to your Senators using the link and urge them to say NO to S 2476. A simple sentence like the following would be enough to get your point of view across:

Honorable Senator,

The Bill S 2476 by Senator Kyl “To amend the USA PATRIOT Act to repeal the sunsets” would lead to giving permanency to PATRIOT ACT. This is the time that our Country should be working towards repealing parts of the PATRIOT ACT, rather than repealing the sunset clause of the Act.

This act has done more harm to the American values than good. I hope you would represent the views of the people by saying NO to S 2476

Respectfully,
