The Abusive Power of the Patriot Act

"The Abusive Power of the Patriot Act." UWIRE Text, 31 Jan. 2017, p. 1. PowerSearch, go.galegroup.com/ps/i.dop=GPS&sw=w&u=nysl_me_tot &v=2.1&id=GALE%7CA479540469&it=r. Accessed 17 May 2017.

Back 5

"Section 215: The private data clause. Section 215 allows the government to search through your library records, financial history, video rentals, religious service records and other previously private data in the name of protecting against terrorism. Over 545 libraries have been asked for book records."

Back 6

"Race can be a tipping factor. Citizenship status can be a tipping factor. Dartmouth prides itself in its racial diversity: Do you know someone who might be considered racially diverse? Tell that racially diverse person that he is subject to a records search without a warrant without any probable cause."

Back 7

"For citizens, meet Section 206: the roving wiretap. If the federal government wants to wiretap someone from Dartmouth, faculty or student, they can now legally use a roving wiretap, which instead of monitoring just one phone, taps every phone that the "suspect" might possibly use."

Back 8

" Congress doesn't have this information -- when the House Judiciary Committee asked for this information, they were denied any details. The Patriot Act cleverly shrouds its actions in secrecy from the public to keep them ignorant of what gross abuses it has sanctioned."

U.S. CITIZENS ARE VICTIMS OF BILLS TO PROTECT THEM

"U.S. CITIZENS ARE VICTIMS OF BILLS TO PROTECT THEM." Wisconsin State Journal [Madison, WI], 8 Dec. 2002, p. B3. PowerSearch, go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?p=GPS&sw=w&u=nysl_me_toths&v=2.1&id=GALE%7CA95134136&it=r. Accessed 17 May 2017.

Back 9

"Contrary to the pundits who say safeguards are in place, the Homeland Security Act gives the government absolute power to collect and spy on our e-mails, financial information and medical histories, without any suspicion of illegal activity."

Back 10

"The Homeland Security Act also allows, for the first time in our history, our own military to spy on U.S. citizens. Our forefathers fought and died to provide us the right to due process."

Back 11

"In the last half century, Americans have enjoyed an unparalleled level of safety, comfort, material wealth and technological advancement. The fact that laws that are clearly unconstitutional have been passed, unread and without debate, makes that appear frighteningly possible."

Back 12

"The most useful and effective strategy to come out of all the meetings and planning has been a heightened awareness that such things are possible. The destruction of the World Trade Center is teaching similar lessons on a much larger scale."

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING

"Big Brother is Watching." UWIRE Text, 31 Jan. 2017, p. 1. PowerSearch, go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?p=GPS&sw=w&u=nysl_me_toths&v=2.1&id=GALE%7CA479540660&it=r. Accessed 17 May 2017.

Back 13

"The Patriot Act vastly expands the government's surveillance abilities. It allows federal agents to force librarians and book owners to hand over a patron's reading and Internet habits. It allows investigators to use "national security letters" to require businesses to hand over electronic records on finances, telephone calls, e-mails and other personal data. It allows random arrests and detention of anyone or any group designated by the President. It allows the concealment of presidential records."

Back 14

"Now if that wasn't enough, there is a sequel to the Patriot Act in the works (dubbed Patriot Act II) which would give the government authority to wiretap an individual and collect a person's DNA without court orders, detain people in secret and revoke citizenship, among other powers."

Back 15

"Or worse yet, it is purposefully using fractured emotions from Sept. 11 to warrant unprecedented expansion of its powers. Fear is a dangerous thing. We all harbor a deep fear of the unknown, the imagined, the possible. And it is this fear that the government is playing on to establish legal precedent to randomly spy on its citizens."

Back 16

"This is isn't just a matter of protesting vague ideas it's a matter of privacy and individual rights. And these rights are in dire danger and will continue to be in danger unless the Patriot Act is repealed. There is a lesson to be learned from all this -- if you let your fears rule your actions, those fears will never go away. So it's time to stop being afraid of the unknown threats and to face the known threats from your own government."
