Help the Sun Set on the PATRIOT Act
- Issue: Just 45 days after 9/11, and with virtually no debate, Congress passed the PATRIOT Act which made radical changes to criminal and intelligence laws, enabling authorities to conduct surveillance, monitor, and investigate individuals with fewer checks on abuse of power. Congress is currently debating the sunset provisions of the PATRIOT Act, which are set to expire on Dec. 31, 2005, unless they are renewed.
