>Monday, June 6, 2005 at the Washoe County 
>Library auditorium, 301 South Center St., in

>attend!
>
>Hearings have already begun on Capitol Hill 
>regarding the sunset provisions of the Patriot 
>Act, which are set to expire in December of this 
>year.  Some legislators in Washington are 
>attempting to fast-track a new version of the 
>USA PATRIOT Act that could make those sunset 
>provisions permanent and further expand 
>surveillance powers without judicial oversight. 
>Time is short!  Everyone's participation is 
>needed in order to have community resolutions 
>adopted in Nevada.  
>
>

>In Nevada, a broad spectrum of organizations and 
>individuals have joined the Nevada Campaign to 
>Defeat the Patriot Act (NCDPA) and endorsed a 
>draft anti-Patriot Act resolution.  A partial 
>list of these endorsing organizations is listed 
>after this message.  The NCDPA draft resolution, 
>if locally adopted, will send a strong message 
>of opposition to  Washington and will raise the 
>bar of constitutional protection for citizens, 
>residents and visitors of this state. Last year, 
>the local governments of Elko County and the 
>City of Elko adopted similar resolutions, thus 
>joining the efforts of 383 communities in the 
>country, including seven states.
>
>Part of the agenda for Monday's meeting will be 
>organizing delegate teams to lobby elected 
>officials in northern Nevada, as well as
