>1. The ACLU has launched a massive new mobilization -- including its 
>first-ever national television advertising campaign -- to safeguard the 
>freedoms that Attorney General Ashcroft and the Bush Administration have 
>targeted since last year's terrorist attacks.
>
>You can participate in this ground-breaking effort by:
>
>-- Sending a FREE FAX to Attorney General Ashcroft outlining your 
>objections to the government's roll back of civil liberties in response to 
>the terrorist attacks. You can learn more and send the fax from the ACLU 
>campaign site at:
>
>http://www.aclu.org/SafeandFree/SafeandFreeMain.cfm
>
>-- Forwarding this message to as many people as possible. If each ACLU 
>Action network member forwards this message to only 5 friends, family 
>members and colleagues, we could guarantee enormous exposure for this 
>important new ACLU campaign and an overworked fax machine at the Justice 
>Department.
>
>In addition to sending your message to Attorney General Ashcroft, when you 
>visit the Safe and Free campaign homepage, please take a moment to view 
>the new ACLU advertisement and take our new FREEDOM QUIZ. Over the life of 
>this campaign, we'll be alerting you about other important ways to get 
>involved in protecting the Constitution.
>
>Take Action! Help Preserve the Constitution by sending your FREE FAX to 
>Attorney General Ashcroft from the ACLU Safe and Free campaign homepage 
>at:  http://www.aclu.org/SafeandFree/SafeandFreeMain.cfm
>
>2. Although Congress has left Washington to campaign for the upcoming 
>mid-term elections, we are anticipating what could be a wild lame duck 
>session beginning in mid-November. Stay tuned for further action alerts as 
>we may need you to help us stop last-minute efforts to push anti-civil 
>liberties measures. Among the measures that could still come up are 
>legislation to implement the President's initiative for government-funded 
>religion and several anti-choice bills.
>
>Finally, please remember to send us any letters you receive from your 
>members of Congress in response to ACLU actions. These can often help our 
>lobbying efforts by providing important intelligence about the positions 
>being taken by members of Congress. You can email letters to 
>field at dcaclu.org or snail mail to:
