Do you approve of the Patriot Act?

In: US History, Patriot Act [Edit categories]

Answer:

One Answer

No: To give up basic rights to "secure" the state...is to "ensure" a dictatorship and tyranny. Maybe we'll wind up a banana-republic sans bananas! The big boys have already stolen a trillion from the nation's treasury.

Another Answer

I personally do not. I believe it takes away our freedom because it allows searches and seizures without warrant.
