signs.

Ashcroft is currently touring the nation, with a focus on states
contested in the presidential election, as part of a public relations
campaign to shore up the Patriot Act. The tour comes as increasing
numbers of Americans are challenging the Administration's assault on
basic freedoms and as Congress considers numerous bipartisan measures
to prohibit implementation of aspects of the Patriot Act.

The Attorney General also seeks to build support for passage of the
expansive sequel, dubbed Patriot II, and the VICTORY Act. His speeches
will be given before audiences of law enforcement officials and are
closed to the public. Even the schedule of the tour is being kept a
secret until the last minute. All of this seems designed to prevent
Americans from showing their opposition to attacks on civil liberties.

Don't let the Justice Department's secrecy prevent the free expression
of opposition to the Patriot Act. Sign up now to attend the press
conference countering Ashcroft's claims:

If you're unable to attend, pass this information on to your friends
and neighbors in the area. Thanks for insisting that security is
attainable without sacrificing our freedom.

Sincerely,
