This is the home page for one of many organizations that have sprung up over the past years seeking to protect Constitutional rights in the face of increasing government efforts to learn more about individual activities. They voice concerns about aspects of the USA Patriot Act and several other executive orders issued since the 9/11 attacks - up to Protests Under Fire (defending the right to protest) . This content could be the basis for an interesting "What do you think..." discussion in a social studies, history, or government course.

tag(s): bill of rights (28), constitution (88), terrorism (41)
