Take the USA Patriot Pledge
FIGHTING TERRORISM AT HOME

President Bush has met the threat of terrorism at home with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Act has encountered more liberal opposition than anything else the president has done, even though patriotic, law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear from it. Liberals simply refuse to believe that Americans are prepared to make meaningful sacrifices to support the war on terrorism.

___ I volunteer to give up some constitutional rights to support the war on terrorism.

___ I volunteer to allow government agents to search my home without warrant.

___ I volunteer to allow government agents access to my medical records.

6. I think that giving up your constitutional rights is unconstitutional.
To give up the rights we would have to amend the Constitution. The anti First Amendment Act I suppose.

10. They suspended Habeas Corpus, your form is invalid now.
We don't have any rights, just the illusion because of our population size and their lack of control over it.
