When Ashcroft came into the office I had high hopes, integrity,honor,faith. This whole matter of the Patriot/Homeland laws have turned me 180 degrees. What really puts me in a fighting mood is the fact that the AG secretly had his people put together draft legislation and secretly pass it on to select congressman. Patriot act II if passed will be the "flat line" of this nation. Not only will we not be a Republic, we won't even be a democracy!!
