Dear Dar,

In a last-minute maneuver excluding Democrats, Republicans negotiated a version of the USA PATRIOT Act that removed the modest reforms to protect civil liberties included in the Senate version.

The version that the House and Senate will now vote on…

*
…continues to allow the Justice Department to authorize the investigation of American citizens without judicial oversight, a power that the Washington Post reports is invoked more than 30,000 times each year.
*
…excludes reforms on section 213 "sneak and peek" provision, allowing the government to search individuals' private property without notifying them.
*
…permits authorities to search citizens' financial, medical, library, school and other records without judicial oversight.

These provision should send chills down the spine of every American who wants to remain independent of Big Brother's watchful gaze.

This is moving fast -- call your senators now to urge they vote NO on the USA PATRIOT Act!
