Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances

I'm supporting "Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances" to undo civil liberty harm caused by the USA Patriot Acts. This group aims to curtail three key parts of the law passed after 9/11:
"sneak and peek" searches by federal agents without notifying the search subject
access to private records from institutions such as library and medical offices
broad definition of "terrorism" in pursuit of suspects

These provisions are set to expire by year's end, but President Bush currently wants Congress to extend their sunset date.
