Send Ashcroft a letter telling him what you think of the Patriot Act
Is Ashcroft Looking Over Your Shoulder?
John Ashcroft: Coming to a Town Near You?

On August 19th, Attorney General John Ashcroft will begin traveling to over a dozen U.S. cities to “set the record straight” about “mischaracterizations” of powers granted to the Justice Department under the USA Patriot Act. Ashcroft may also advocate for additional powers proposed by the so-called “Patriot Act II.”

"To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve."
-- John Ashcroft

3. He can probably arrest you for saying that
Did you know my dad once saved the "real" Betty Boop from drowning?

6. I mean the woman who did the Betty Boop voice!
I guess she was in a canoe that tipped over on a lake.

7. It really says something about our level of fear
when American citizens can't express their honest feelings toward this man and his policies.

I got a letter to the editor opposing the Patriot Act in my hometown. Everyone keeps telling me I'm on his short list now.

Boil him in crisco.

8. Curbing my honest feelings to "virtually" flog him
Why waste words! Oh-oh, guess I'm guilty of "lusting (for blood) in my heart." How about this instead:

ME SO BAD!

9. I wouldn't put it past that guy to try and prosecute someone
for putting a voodoo curse on him.

Superstitious dimwit that he is...maybe we should start mailing pictures of naked women to the guy! I keep waiting for him to be arrested in a Cadillac drunk with a hooker.

Was he raised in a snake handling cult?

Does he really represent Bible belt Christianity? I live in the state with the lowest church attendance nationwide. I am blissfully ignorant of such people (aside from a few stray Mormons).
