"Urge Congress to Reject Ashcroft’s Veto Threat

Two years after the passage of the PATRIOT Act, the movement to fix this broad and un-American piece of legislation is gaining momentum. Despite an unprecedented public relations offensive by Attorney General Ashcroft and a veto threat from the White House, Congress is moving toward revising the Patriot Act’s most dangerous provisions.

Following on the House's strong vote to ban "sneak and peek" searches, Sens. Larry Craig (R-ID) and Richard Durbin (D-IL) have now taken the lead in the Senate by introducing the bi-partisan Security and Freedom Ensured (SAFE) Act of 2003 (S 1709). In the House, Rep. Butch Otter (R-ID) has introduced a companion bill (HR 3352). This legislation would represent a significant first step toward rolling back some of the PATRIOT Act's worse excesses."
