"Anti-Patriot Act"

http://www.freeexpression.org/patriotstmt.htm

Excerpt:

"While the undersigned members of the Free Expression Network support 
legitimate law enforcement activities designed to bring to justice 
the perpetrators of the September 11 attacks and to prevent future 
threats to our security, we oppose doing so in ways that 
fundamentally threaten democracy, by allowing government broad power 
to monitor and investigate the personal opinions of its residents, 
and by restricting the free flow of information beyond the need to 
protect national security. We also condemn all efforts to demonize or 
punish dissent."
