>Under the guise of terrorism, Attorney General Ashcroft has been secretly 
>preparing new legislation that would significantly reduce privacy 
>protections and essentially eliminate some of the most fundamental checks 
>and balances on governmental power.
>
>The draft "Domestic Security Enhancement Act" contains a multitude of law 
>enforcement and intelligence gathering powers -- many of which are not 
>related to terrorism -- that would severely undermine basic constitutional 
>rights.  For example, the proposed legislation would allow the sampling 
>and cataloguing of innocent Americans' DNA without court order and without 
>consent.

>Take Action now!  We can stop this legislation and tell our elected 
>officials that they must exercise appropriate oversight over the Justice 
>Department and FBI to prevent abuse of power. Click here to get more
