Nevada City Dumps PATRIOT

|

From a reliable source:

The ACLU recently reported that 325 communities in the USA have passed
resolutions opposing the USA-PATRIOT act. Tonight I attended a packed city
council meeting in Nevada City, located deep in California's conservative 4th
district. On the agenda was a resolution of the type above. After lengthy
public input, the city council voted 4-0 in favor of the resolution with one
abstention. I am proud to announce that the total of communities with
resolutions against the unconstitutional provisions of the USA-PATRIOT act has
just increased by one to 326.

For those who are interested, the text of the resolution can be found here (PDF).

It was a really amazing experience watching grassroots democracy in action,
where the overwhelming support by the public overcame reluctance on the
part of the city council.

If you are so inclined, I would encourage you to find a number of politically
savvy helpers and push for such a resolution to be passed by your own local
city or county political body.
