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:

Secret arrests. Unrestricted wiretaps. Church surveillance. Patriot II (officially known as the Domestic Security Enhancement Act) is a follow-up to Ashcroft's USA PATRIOT Act. Like most sequels, this one is even worse than the original. Patriot Act II would extend the unconstitutional reach of USA PATRIOT by granting sweeping new powers to the government, including unchecked government surveillance, secret arrests, and wiretapping of churches, synagogues and mosques. It gives John Ashcroft and the Justice Department the ability to label political protest groups as "terrorists," and even strip their members of U.S. citizenship. Take action to stop another federal power grab before it happens.
