I will not counter the insanity of the PATRIOT Act with an overblown fear of my rights being taken away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I urge calm and sensitivity to the fundamental civil liberties of our country.
I would have never signed the Patriot Act. I would have never signed the National Defense Authorization Act allowing for arrests and detainment of you and me as U.S. citizens without being charged.
I want to regain my First Amendment rights.
I don't think I should tell you what to do, nor should the government. As long as you enjoy your own personal liberties and don't infringe on the liberties of others, I don't care.
No one in their right mind can say to me with a straight face that the Patriot Act has not aggregated the Fourth Amendment.
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
We must erase bin Laden's ugly legacy, not extend it: by ending the Patriot Act's erosion of our civil liberties, we can protect the freedoms that make America worth fighting for.
I believe the Patriot Act strikes the right balance needed to protect our freedom and security.
After careful deliberation, I voted today to reauthorize the Patriot Act.
I will continue fighting to protect our Second Amendment rights.
