ITEM OVERVIEW
A look at the way the PATRIOT act and post 9/11 security measures infected our civil liberties and infringed upon basic American rights and freedoms. We are proud to present a document that everyone needs to be reading and getting upset about! Abner traded off his zine duting for this issue for the text to be written by Gena Mason and Illustrations by Keith Rosson. Note resemblance to airplane safety manual. Now updated and expanded for 2007 with better printing!
"Ever get really paranoid that the government is watching you, bugging your phones, and reading your e-mail? You might not be so nutty after all. This zine explains how the Patriot Act now allows the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to conduct surveilance on American citizens, without a warrant or a reason, and use any evidence collected (including anything they go into your home and take without ever informing you) against you in a trial without a jury. Even if you never involve yourself in "questionable activities", communicating with someone who does sets you up as a surveillance target. Steering clear of conspiracy theories, the author cites declassified government documents, court records, and reports from credible organizations to show how the Patriot Act violates the Constitution, primarily the 1st and 4th Amendments. This zine is a good summary of what the Patriot Act means to American citizens." HeartattaCk #47
