Ashcroft warns of Bush veto on scaled-back Patriot bill
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/01/29/patriot.act.ap/index.html

More bullshit about why our rights should be thrown in the toilet. Let's write our representatives and at least support the SAFE bill.

2. Have they published the provisions in this bill?
Do I know what's in THIS package that's going to bite me in the butt or prevent me from flying on airplanes?

What makes this horror SAFE?

3. I think its time we started a campaign to write LTTE on this issue
MANY good conservatives agree with us about the Patriot Act and, together, we could get the attention of the media long enough to torpedo that fascist piece of shit legislation.

5. How many Congressmen would take a stand against it this time?

If the bill actually managed to survive both houses, would there be enough votes to potentially override a veto from Bush?

6. Boy...
they don't even bother sitting bush on their lap and let him mouth the words any more. Might as well have a ham sandwich as President.

7. How can the neocons protect our liberty and freedom unless they have
Gestapo/KGB-type police powers?
