You Are Invited!!
Northern California USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Campaign Kick-Off

Featuring Phil Gutis, American Civil Liberties Union
National Director of Legislative Communications

NOW is the window of opportunity to ensure careful review
of the anti- privacy provisions in the PATRIOT Act which
Congress voted to expire at the end of this year.

We need your help to ensure these provisions sunset,
and are not made permanent.

Join us for this special Northern California briefing to learn:

Why did Congress overwhelmingly vote for the most intrusive
portions of the PATRIOT Act to expire?

Which provisions were intended for careful review?

How did the PATRIOT Act erode traditional checks and balances
that protect Americans’ privacy?

How can you lobby your Congressional representatives,
energize your community, and educate Californians about
the PATRIOT Act’s targeting of US citizens?


And much more . . .
