>The Senate Intelligence Committee will be 
>holding a secret meeting tomorrow to expand the 
>Patriot Act.  Instead of listening to the public 
>concern about the Patriot Act's infamous 
>provisions, the Senators on this Committee will 
>be meeting behind closed doors to discuss 
>expanding the government power to conduct 
>surveillance and obtain personal records.

>Patriot Act is too important to be expanded in 
>secret. Click here to urge Congress to hold open 
>meetings when it considers changes to the 
>Patriot Act and to fully consider public input 
>on these proposed expansions of government 
>surveillance powers.  
>
>The proposed Patriot Act expansion would make 
>permanent all those provisions that expand 
>government power.  For example, it would make 
>permanent the section that allows the FBI to 
>seize secretly a vast array of sensitive 
>personal information and belongings -- including 
>medical, library and business records -- using 
>secret intelligence tools that do not require 
>individual criminal activity and that do not 
>require specific facts connecting these records 
>to terrorism, to a terrorist, or to a spy.
>
>Congress passed the Patriot Act in in a hurry 
>with virtually no debate . . . don't let them do 
>it again.
