Americans Start Getting Clue, Stop Putting Up With Fascist Bullshit

Because, hey, guess what the government can do to you now!

  • Freedom of Association - Government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity to assist terror investigation.
  • Freedom of Information - Government has closed once-public immigration hearings, has secretly detained hundreds of people without charges, and has encouraged bureaucrats to resist public records requests.
  • Freedom of Speech - Government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone that the government subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation.
  • Right to Legal Representation - Government may monitor federal prison jailhouse conversations between attorneys and clients, and deny lawyers to Americans accused of crimes.
  • Freedom from Unreasonable Searches - Government may search and seize Americans' papers and effects without probable cause to assist terror investigation.
  • Right to a Speedy and Public Trial - Government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.
  • Right to Liberty - Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront witnesses against them.
