>USA PATRIOT Act hearings have already begun on 
>Capitol Hill.   A  new version of the USA 
>PATRIOT Act that is being fast-tracked through 
>legislative committees  could make all 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.
>
>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 384 
>communities in the country, including seven 
>states.
>
>Part of the agenda for Wednesday's meeting will 
>be organizing teams of volunteers to lobby 
>elected officials in northern Nevada, as well as 
>other forms of participation to support this 
>resolution campaign.

>Make your voice heard!   Your participation will make a difference.
