The Patriot Act is UnConstitutional
By Susan Steffen-Kraft
Whether you believe it or not, the Patriot Act infringes on some of our liberties. These liberties were guaranteed by the Constitution and by permitting the Patriot Act to exist we are trading off these liberties. Laws on paper have always been susceptible to the power mongers. President Obama is only building a massive surveillance program which President Bush put into play and before him President Bill Clinton.
And if the supporters of all these Presidents get mad at me I really do not care. To me that will show that you are not lovers of liberty but are champions of big government. Our rights according the the 4th Amendment are "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizers.
Did did you know that books, computers, documents may be taken because of the Patriot Act. This can happen not just at your home but at public libraries, medical facilities, churches, bookstores, Internet providers, political groups, universities, and other types of institutions and businesses.

Indeed my friends, the phrase Patriot Act have nothing to do with being Patriotic. There is nothing Patriotic about this act. The people who are served cannot even tell anyone that the Feds have searched their records. So free speech is gone by the roadside to boot.
To add insult to injury the FBI can make Internet Services turn over a log of the websites that you have visited and all the e-mails coming to and from that computer. What this means is if they do not like you or what you stand for, then you are out of luck should they choose to classify you as a terrorist.
Of course as a rule officers have to get a warrant but if the FBI believes you are a terrorist they can get authorization by search orders to investigate you. The Patriot Act authorizes this investigation of activities that could even involve a non violent protest; please note the words non violent.

The First Amendment protects for example, the rights to have these non violent protests. And how many Senators voted against this atrocity; only one had the guts and common sense to do so.
In 2006 the 10 Senators listed below voted against the Patriotic Act but in 2001 all but one of the 10 voted for it and he was a Democrat by the name of Russ Feingold from Wisconsin. Strange the change of mind from 2001 to 2006 but even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then. It is interesting that the Democrats supported Bush in this endeavor but at least 10 did not in 2006. I understand why the Republicans did as the sitting President was from their own party, but why did the Democrats?

President Bush contributed to taking away our freedoms. Live with it because that's the truth. Of course President Obama yes, the same President Obama that when a Senator was worried that Section 215 would allow "business records" that were considered "relevant" to be obtained for the investigation of terrorists activities! He stated that this provision would "allow government fishing expeditions targeting innocent Americans. We believe the government should be required to convince a judge that the records they are seeking have some connection to a suspected terrorist or spy." However when this same Senator became President he took this many steps beyond Bush and Clinton.
Of course both of these other two men were and are, part and parcel of the New World Order, just like Obama. When Bill Clinton was President, Democrats on Capitol Hill strongly supported what became known as the Patriot Act because he was a Democrat and Republicans opposed it. But when G.W. Bush Jr. who was a Republican became President, Republicans supported (and passed) the Patriot Act. Remember, it was the same bill! So what made the difference?
When even the chief sponsor of the Patriot Act, Jim Sensenbrenner said he "always worried about potential abuses" warning flags should have gone up among the Republicans but apparently none did! Of course by now we should all realize that Sensenbrenner's worries were justified! My God, why cannot the sheeple see this for what it is. Why ask? After all sheeple follow blindly after their leaders and would jump off a cliff if ordered too.
Of course the FBI loves the Patriot Act. They can ignore the rules because they can ignore probable cause and conduct searches from their own warrants. But again, Bush did not care nor has Obama. But wait there is more! Clinton signed into law many bills that led to the Patriot Act. So lets see now, from Clinton to Bush to Obama;
let them all join hands and sing;
Kumbaya My Lord, Kumbaya! We fooled the People Lord, Oh Yes We Did, We Fooled the People Lord, Kumbaya! Oh Lord, Kumbaya!

Above the picture of Russ Feingold the only dissenter against the Patriot Act in 2001. It would be so nice if more members of Congress (from both parties) had chosen the side of Liberty and the Constitution at that time. But no, sadly, they picked Tyranny and Big-Government and they still are as the Patriot Act is still with us! Many people believe that there is a lot of difference in the party lines and there are some who do not but I fear they are in the minority.
BOTH PARTIES SUPPORTED THE IRAQ WAR, BOTH SUPPORTED AMNESTY, BOTH SUPPORTED REAL ID, AND BOTH SUPPORTED THE PATRIOT ACT!!!! IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS THAT NO MATTER WHICH POLITICAL PARTY GETS INTO OFFICE THAT NOTHING CHANGES?!?! BOTH PARTIES ARE OWNED AND CONTROLLED BY THE GLOBAL ELITISTS also known as the NEW WORLD ORDER!
As for some Tea Party candidates. Indeed they seemed not to understand the 4th amendment of the Constitution and voted to extend certain provisions in the Act in the early fall of 2011. My God, they should all have to study and take a test on the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. So should the Presidents.
If you cannot pass the test, too bad! You should not hold office until you do pass the test. That would force you to study. I mean you are not suppose to drive unless you take a written test and a driving test. Should not be a problem to study and pass this test also.
“The PATRIOT Act was written many, many years before 9/11,” Ron Paul said. The attacks simply provided “an opportunity for some people to do what they wanted to do,” he continued. Ah how true. They will use anything and any means to follow through with their evil agenda.
