Anyone know a good site for info about domestic abuses of freedom?
(results of Patriot act, disallowing voting and protesting, etc.)

I've got a new slogan idea after * speech, and would like one good weblink to put underneath it:

Democracy Starts at Home

2. they don't cover election fraud, though, do they?
That's really the main irony ...

... say ... we'll support oppressed people over tyrants

... do ... oppress and suppress people to obtain and hold onto power.

3. They were very active in FL and OH when HAVA was being used
to screw people out of their vote. And have a Vote Fraud unit in Atlanta.

5. ACLU commissioned a documentary: "Unconstitutional" Excellent film
I saw it at the Bioneers Conference in CA in 2004. It identifies alarming (to put it all too mildly) domestic abuses; points out three specific core Constitutional rights we have "lost" as a result of the P Act. Documents abuses - a outstanding documentary film - got huge applause from the audience there (mainly eco activists).

ACLU was making it available on video or dvd for $10 and hoping activists would give it wide circulation in hopes of awakening people to the dire straits we're all in.

Peace
