I guess I'm just a conservative sheep, but I don't see the patriot act
as terribly intrusive on my rights as an American citizen.  If the ALCU
wants to create and protect the rights of terrorists, why don't they
just say so..

I know the patriot act has caused a massive increase in data capture in
banking transactions and has created a lot of SARBOX controls, but
otherwise, I havent noticed the increase of black helicopters or agent
Smith's walking around..
