We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit ACLU/SC Take Action.

The short explanation of this alert was:

The tragedy of the 9/11 attacks should not be used to strip away the fundamental rights guaranteed to us by our Constitution. Unfortunately, that’s just what happened with the hasty passage of the USA PATRIOT Act in October 2001. It has become a rallying point for bipartisan concern about broad erosions of fundamental checks and balances against government abuse.

Congress insisted that several of the most contentious sections of the PATRIOT Act expire on December 31, 2005 unless members vote to renew them. Right now our elected leaders are examining the PATRIOT Act’s fate. It is critical for you to Take Action now in support of the SAFE Act.

The SAFE Act fixes flaws in the PATRIOT Act without weakening any of the new authority the law provides to fight terrorism.

Take a moment to urge your elected representatives to support the SAFE Act.
