CAIR ACTION ALERT #394

SUPPORT THE 'TRUE PATRIOT ACT'

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 9/29/03) - CAIR is urging members of the American
Muslim
community and other people of conscience to contact their elected
representatives and ask that they co-sponsor the recently introduced
"Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act," (H.R. 3171) designed to repeal
unconstitutional sections of the original USA PATRIOT Act.

The bipartisan bill, which was introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)

and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) on September 24, 2003, and co-sponsored by 19
other representatives, addresses mounting concerns raised by citizens at
a
grassroots level who have organized to defend the bill of rights.

The Kucinich-Paul bill repeals 15 sections of the original USA PATRIOT
Act,
including those that permit:

* "sneak and peak" delayed notification search warrants (section 213),
* warrant-less searches of a broad range of personal records including
library, medical, and financial records (section 215),
* the indefinite detention and deportation of non-citizens without
judicial
review (section 415).

The True Patriot Act also bans:

* certain post-9/11 special immigration detention regulations including
the
use of local law enforcement to enforce immigration laws,
* Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) restructuring that limits
immigrants'
judicial review.

FOR FULL TEXT OF THE BILL, GO TO:
