If Patriot II is enacted, with all due respect Mr. President I will have to place my vote elsewhere.
Care to post a thread with specific details about the Patriot Act, and its effects? Myself, and I know most all here, care very deeply about the God-given unalienable rights that are delineated in our Bill of Rights.
I have a hunch that hardly anyone here could put their finger on any provisions that have affected those rights in any appreciable way. But if there are, I think FReepers generally would be more than happy to work hard to try help change those provisions. If you post such a thread, ping me, I would be happy to participate in the discussion.
But again, you gain nothing by withholding your support from the President at this point in history. The only beneficiaries are the Democrats.
