Oppose Government Surveillance of Peaceful Protestors

A confidential FBI memo confirms that the federal government is
targeting innocent Americans engaged in nothing more than lawful protest and
dissent.

In the memo the FBI advocates spying on peaceful protesters and
indicates that protesters who engage in civil disobedience or other disruptive
acts should be treated like potential terrorists. It confirms that the
government has monitored the actions of peaceful protestors and wants
intelligence about protestors to be reported to the nearest FBI field
office or terrorism task force.

Peaceful protestors should not be treated as potential terrorists nor
spied upon by federal government agents. Not only is this a misuse of
public funds that could be used to find real terrorists, it chills free
speech activities and inhibits the public debate on important issues.

Take Action! Let Attorney General Ashcroft know that you oppose
government surveillance of peaceful protests.

ACLU

Edison,

I mentioned ACLU a couple of times. I am not a card carrying member, nor liberal, nor conservative but ACLU was and is the only organisation that vigorously defended the human and civil rights of a lot of immigrants post 09/11. In case we need them, I am sure they can help.

I wrote to their president and executive officers. Didn't get any response.

I meant I wrote to them regarding 485 backlog and our petition.

Maybe, it has to be more targeted with data and information and maybe more politicized, i.e, Patriot act, etc
